‘Karmic Divas’ is a book on women achievers
|
ACHIEVER Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
An ode to womanhood, a tribute to achievers, a declaration to the world.
Call it anything you like but it sure is an encomium to the excellence achieved by these eight women achievers – Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Kalpana Morparia, Naina Lal Kidwai, Neelam Dhawan, Ritu Kumar, Swati Piramal, Vinita Bali and Vandana Luthra. “Karmic Divas”, as it is rightly called, features stories of these eight women who have broken the male bastion in their respective fields through their work.
An inspiration
The book, authored by Prerna K. Mishra and published by Vitasta, is bound to inspire you to take up your ambitions further, especially if you are a woman.
The book was launched recently in New Delhi by Union Minister of Finance, P. Chidambaram with five of the eight women achievers present on the occasion. Chidambaram described the book as a “straightforward and humble attempt” to display the journey of these achievers.
But, he also urged everyone not to forget that the nation still hasn’t let go off social scourges such as female foeticide, child marriage and denying education to the girl child.
“The faith and trust of family which these women received was indispensable and that is to be taken forward. Parents should start trusting their daughters and have faith in their ambitions. Without their support even these divas could not have been here,” added the author.
