Authors are revisiting stories of women achievers to present a new set of role models for children and young adults
Not many have grown up listening to the story of Seema Rao, India’s Wonder Woman, the first to train soldiers in close-combat warfare. Or of dancer Rukmini Devi Arundale, who was rebuked when she first performed the dance form Sadir on stage and coupled it with classical music, but later became a pioneer in reviving Bharatanatyam. Or of Homai Vyarawalla, the first woman photojournalist in India, who captured many iconic moments of India’s freedom struggle. Stories of many such women are now being revisited by writers through books for children.
