Mayukh Sen took a fascinating but intimidatingly broad topic and turned it into a digestible, thought-provoking read. It’s clearly thoroughly researched, and the respect he has for these women and others like them is evident. At times, the structure left something to be desired, as each woman’s story jumped around a bit, and I didn’t always grasp the through line. However, the introduction and afterword do a great job of contextualizing Sen’s work and making his intent clear. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s an excellent work of journalism, and I learned a lot.
