This collection of 20 stories brings you the account of the resilience and brilliance of iconic Indian
women, who rose to be trailblazers and trendsetters against all odds.
Even in this day and age, when conversations about women empowerment and equality are at the
forefront, we are only scratching the surface when it comes to knowledge about women’s contribution.
Whether it is in the field of science, defence, law or literature, the contributions of women have been
undermined extensively. With Rising 2.0, Kiran Manral aims to continue the work of acknowledging
the contribution of women that she had started with her previous book, Rising: 30 Women Who
Changed India.
Rising 2.0: 20 More Women Who Changed India brings you the stories of 20 exceptional Indian
women, who tackled the tough circumstances of their time head on—whether through protest or
perseverance—and rose to have a lasting impact on the world. With stories ranging from the pre-
Independence era to the present day, this book explores the struggles of women who were army
captains, botanists, lawyers, chefs, writers, performers and so much more. With exclusive interviews from some of the women and extensively researched pieces about others, Rising 2.0 brings you
fascinating and inspiring stories of women like J. Jayalalithaa, Ismat Chughtai, Begum Akhtar, Dutee
Chand, Mithali Raj, Kalpana Chawla, Irom Chanu Sharmila, Cornelia Sorabji, Anna Chandy, Rukmini
Devi Arundale, Kavita Devi Bundelkhandi, Janaki Ammal, Tulasi Gowda, Seema Rao, Kamala Das,
Garima Arora, Sindhutai Sapkal, Lakshmi Sahgal, Sarojini Naidu and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay.
