Publisher's Synopsis
Being a woman is both an asset and a liability. A lot depends on what she makes of herself or becomes. She is a huge asset when she is self dependent and possesses the awareness and choice of being interdependent. She is totally a liability for herself when she is neither appropriately educated nor financially independent and worse when she is psychologically dependent on others for her physical wellbeing. In such a situation she is totally enslaved! And we have millions of such women all over the world. As long as women continue to remain in a position of receiving rather than giving, they shall continue to bear injustice. Kiran Bedi in her usual candid style, shares wide ranging issues which have angered, inspired, or fascinated her. Through her matter of fact style of writing, she draws her readers into situations that they may either not have access to or may tend to ignore. This book is a persistent effort by the author to encourage greater awareness about various social and ethical issues being faced by women with the hope to invoke, provoke, and inspire readers to heightened levels of sensitivity, participation, and response.
