Journalist, entrepreneur and the founder of SheThePeople, Shaili Chopra, travels across India, to understand why we slot women in the bitch, badass or bechari silos. Are parents part of the problem, could saasu maas break the patriarchy paradox? Chopra delves into the fabric of what propels stereotypes - a woman who wants to be rich is called a gold digger, a woman who makes a point is called bossy and those who are single are forced to believe their lives are at a dead end. Chopra speaks to internet entrepreneurs, homemakers, impact shapers, politicians, policewomen, intellectuals. She captures how Indian women are coursing through change with anecdotes in her chapters 'Show Me The Money' 'Beauty Parlour Economics' and ‘India's Marriage Fish Market’. She asks how women in positions of power and politics can change the fate for the Sisterhood? India could add up to $770 billion to its GDP by 2025, simply by giving equal opportunities to women. The world is recognising how female leadership changed the fate of countries handling COVID. When men lost jobs, women kept home fires on – some through housework, many through self-created jobs and businesses. If India has to grow and expand its demographic dividend, it has to count the female factor and rethink how it leverages its 700 million women into powering an economy the world is watching. Sisterhood Economy aims to understand the women’s economy and takes a look at how women are contributing, where they are yet untapped and how their approach to work is rewarding for the country. A range of diverse themes are discussed with case studies, statistics and interviews – this remarkable book is replete with thought-provoking ideas as well as hard data to support the theories and arguments being propounded.
