SISTERHOOD ECONOMY - OF, BY AND FOR WO(MEN) BY SHAILI CHOPRA

This year has been a good year for non fiction as far as I know. Because most of the books that I read in 2022 were non fictions and all of them were great.

Sisterhood economy is another great one in the genre written for all, irrespective of gender. The book covers the plight of women in the society during both the olden and modern times. The author subtly makes a point on how only the dates in our calendars have changed, which means nothing for most women who are always duty bound and smothered with unreal expectations.

The book speaks volumes about women’s health, personal rights, freedom of choice and it just doesn’t stop with that. It feels like reading our own thoughts on paper covering every possible arena like the problems in/by marriage, health care, work opportunities, self esteem, body image, home makers, sex workers, pregnancy and much more. It’s not just talking about the issues alone, but also the author emphasises its value on the global and national economy.

PROS: It’s a great feministic work combining women’s situation and the economic growth in the country and globally.

All of the above mentioned points in the description of the book.

It’s written in an engrossing manner instead of being just plain because that’s what most readers assume about non fictions.

There were footnotes with references and additional information.

I was happy to read stories of successful and struggling women who were not so popular but are meant to be in all ways.

CONS: As much as I loved the book, I was also saddened with almost nil representation of women from health care or law making when compared to entertainment industry.

I wish the research were more accurate when mentioning the facts  relating to medical education and health care.

MY REVIEW: 4/5

Must read for all men and women!
