Book Description

About the Book In Her Footsteps: Women Who Made India is a tribute to the indomitable spirit and contributions of Indian women across centuries. From the profound wisdom of philosophers like Gargi and Maitreyi, to the lyrical brilliance of poets like Mirabai and Kamala Das, and the fearless courage of freedom fighters like Rani Lakshmibai, Kalpana Dutta, and countless others-this book weaves together their extraordinary stories. Structured in three parts, the book brings alive the voices of women who shaped India's cultural, literary, and historical landscape. Their journeys, marked by intellect, creativity, and sacrifice, continue to inspire generations. Whether it is philosophy, poetry, or patriotism, these women walked paths that shaped a nation-and now invite you to walk in their footsteps. An essential read for anyone who seeks to understand India through the lens of its remarkable women.

About the Author Mandira Ghosh is a celebrated poet, author, and editor, with twenty-one published books, including The Cosmic Dance of Shiva, Folk Music of the Himalayas, and Shiva and Shakti in Indian Mythology. Her admiration for Mahatma Gandhi led her to author a book on the great leader. Mandira is the Guest Editor of Poets of India, a special issue of The Seventh Quarry from Wales, and has received numerous awards, including a Senior Fellowship from the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Bravery Award for her contributions to education. A postgraduate in English Literature, Mandira's work spans poetry, book reviews, short stories, and articles published in Indian Literature, The Seventh Quarry, Setu and Power Politics, among others. Her writing, rooted in Indian ethos, explores diverse topics, from Indian folk music to the cosmic symbolism of Shiva and Shakti. With over twenty years of experience as an educator, she has been recognized with multiple honors, including the Bharat Nirman Award and Author of the Year 2022 from the Asian Literary Society.

Preface In the vast tapestry of time, countless Indian women have woven threads of courage, resilience, and wisdom, enriching the world with their indelible contributions. Attempting to compile an exhaustive list of these trailblazers is a task beyond reach; however, a few names echo through the ages, resonating with the strength of their character: Maitreyī, Gargi, Khana, and Lopamudra-women of antiquity who hold a special place in my heart. Embarking on unconventional paths is a daunting journey, particularly for women. Yet, these remarkable Indian women navigated treacherous terrain. Khana, silenced by a patriarchal society, stands as a poignant example. Hats off to these luminaries for daring to raise their voices against the male-dominated norms of their time.

Introduction This book talks about the remarkable bravery and defiance displayed by women across various regions of India, from Assam to Bihar, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bengal, and Southern India, regardless of their background - whether Rajputs, Upper Caste, Dalits, Hindus, Tribals, Muslims, or Christians-a profound narrative of courage and rebellion emerges. These women, numbering approximately forty, transcended mere passive resistance, embodying active courage and defiance in the face of adversity. Their early recognition of the significance of protest and dissent, rejecting the notion of surrender, stands as a testament to their unwavering spirit and resilience.
