BREAKING NEWS A WOMAN IN A MAN'S WORLD
Breaking News: A Woman in a Man’s World chronicles Kamla Mankekar’s experiences as one of the first women journalists in India. Engagingly written, Breaking News vividly portrays the struggles of a woman in a primarily male-dominated profession while recording the cultural and social changes that marked the pivotal decades of India’s history. The book depicts the hopeful years of a newly-born nation, the despair and resilience of those who came to India as refugees after Partition, the cultural ferment of the 1950s and 1960s, the political turmoil of the 1970s and 1980s, and the social transformations of the present moment. It offers readers a splendid view of the momentous events that have led to the present.In recounting anecdotes of her encounters with newspaper editors and proprietors, refugees and social activists, actors, playwrights, musicians and poets, industrialists, politicians, and ‘ordinary’ people, the author creates sparkling portraits of the people who have shaped modern India.
