We Are Heroines, (Paperback)

We Are Heroines pays tribute to the rich history of the Bangladeshi women's movement from the 1970s to the present day. It explores and analyses the rise and fall of the women's movement, thus showing us the truth of gender inequality in Bangladesh. For too long, women have been dehumanised and rejected by their communities if they defy social norms. As a consequence, women's experiences have been flatlined under the male gaze. We Are Heroines is a comprehensive study where there is no stone left unturned. The writer empowers the reader to take positive action for social change. The book allows us to feel hopeful but pushes us to recognise our community's future is in our hands, as we have an ethical duty to do so.

Do we march forward, or do we stay stagnant?

We Are Heroines has the answer.
