Have you ever wondered who the trailblazing women of India are? Most of us would know the first woman Prime Minister and the women Presidents of the country. We may also be aware of the women that conquered Mount Everest or won medals at the Olympics. However, have you stopped to think about the pioneering women in fields like Science, Engineering, Medicine, Arts, Literature, Finance, etc? For instance, who was the first woman to earn a Doctorate? Who were the first women to hold positions as IFS, IAS, and IPS officers, and as Judges? Well, here is a compilation of India's extraordinary women who have achieved significant milestones across various fields. Accompanied by brilliant artworks, this book showcases the women who have fearlessly defended the nation, opened doors to education and employment for women, fought for fundamental rights and equality. Welcome to the “Stories of our Sheroes”, where you can discover more about the foremost and formidable women of India, and their challenging and solitary journeys.
Sheroes in Our Stamps
by Sridevi
‘Sheroes in our Stamps’ is my third book in the series about the Sheroes of India. The book comprises stories of extraordinary women who have been honoured with postage stamps by India between 1947 and 2024. The stories and accounts in this book are grouped into two categories. The first category comprises Sheroes who have been commemorated or honoured with postage stamps under the theme ‘Personality’. Most of these stamps feature Sheroes from India, while some feature women achievers from other countries. The second category comprises stamps issued to commemorate an Institution or Event associated with a Shero and also stamps issued on themes related to women.
Stories of our Green Sheroes
by Sridevi
Stories of our Green Sheroes is my second book in the series about the Sheroes of India. The theme of ‘Green Sheroes’ was suggested by my daughters, a very relevant topic to the times we are in. Climate change is the biggest crisis that humankind has ever faced, requiring urgent climate action. Several individuals and organisations around the world are contributing to the fight against climate change. This book highlights the Eco-Warrioresses who have been at the frontline of climate action in India. The book comprises 100 stories of over 100 green sheroes. These sheroes have contributed as individuals, and in small and large groups. There are sheroes as young as seven and as old as a centenarian, dispelling the myth of age to make a difference. Discover their stories and be inspired to join the action.
