Fifteen women. Fifteen inspirational stories. From highly
influential individuals in politics, to award-winning leaders and
inspirational philanthropists, to ordinary women who have embraced
British life, a range of Punjabi women all share personal stories
of racism, gender inequality and the partition of India and
Pakistan. Together and alone they overcame adversity and dealt with
the complexities of embracing dual identities and balancing a
career with family life. Some even share their experiences of the
partition of India in 1947 as well as the Jallianwallah Bagh
Massacre, 1919. The first in a series of books, Voices from Punjab
will resonate with readers as they accompany the women on their
unique journeys. Different in many ways, ultimately each woman has
a common background - coming from Punjab to celebrate their
triumphs over cultural differences and gender stereotypes in the
UK.
