Just to let you know I am unable to process this. I know the women in my life are anything but damsels in distress. This kind of narration is meant to go far and wide and it is...thanks to you. Don't stop or I will bombard you with Salman khan gifs. This is not a drill.

An inspiring write-up, definitely. Thanks for sharing the stories of the brave women whom society perceived as damsels in distress but they didn't perceive themselves as so. Great work!!

Lovely piece, Mahima. Reading Womaning every week had made me more conscious of the biases I've faced and the subtleties of gender in our society. Thank you!
