Description

Rather than sympathizing with their cases or praising prison authorities efforts, this book is about the women their individual and collective strength and the spirit of survival they continue to display even in the darkest hours.Amba Batra Bakshi was born in New Delhi in 1980 and did her schoolling from Modern School and The Lawrence School, Sanawar.She graduated in Journalism from Lady Shriram College, and went on to do her Masters at City University, UK and, in2007 pursued Advance Non-Fiction writing at Harvard.
