She could be your wife. She could be your friend. And chances are, she could be you. Twenty stories of the brilliant, maddening, exhausting lives of women, inside and outside of our professional spaces. Many of them are the women we call “missing,” the women who broke academic records in a new India, entered our workplaces with high hopes and then dropped out of the workforce. A few of them are the intrepid pioneers of new ways of working, building careers that are changing the very notion of how, where and when work is done. All of them are women who are charting their own unique paths and showing the rest of us that there is no one way to live and no one way to work. In these stories, we will listen to these women, visit their dilemmas, understand their choices and revel in their successes. We will come away informed and inspired. Pick this book up because you care. Pick it up because these are good stories.
