Publisher's Synopsis
"All women marry," is a popular saying in India. The author's quest is for single women, an exceptional group in a country where 99% of women are married. She is determined to find women without a single man among them. She wants to find out what drives them to live alone. In this book, she portrays widows, never-married and divorced women in a narrative way. Unemployed Leela, confident Aprajita and noble Geetanjali all openly shared their struggles, loves and choices. She put these stories out despite the gossip and denunciations of neighbors and family. They hear so many contradictions, that they no longer know what is real. A portion of the proceeds from this book goes to the foundation of Sister Mary. See www.dalitwomenpower.org for more details.
