A Woman's Journey Across Cultures To Herself

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a personal story of Sumedha Mona Khanna's extraordinary life journey, presented in images, stories, and anecdotes. She wrote this book especially to share with the younger generation of girls in her extended family: her nieces, and most of all, her grandnieces. "I want them to know about me after I am gone and to be inspired that a woman can do whatever she wants in life. It requires courage, determination, and stamina."

A spiritual memoir, the author shares how her awareness of her inner power of her spirit was totally unique. It is this spirit, represented in her Dancing Feet, that inspired her to the great adventures and achievements recounted in her book. She was born a third daughter in India, a culture that welcomes sons not daughters, during a time of revolution, yet became the voice of health for women and children in world organizations dominated by men and politics.

Sumedha hopes that her story offers glimpses of hope and courage to others wanting to break through traditional values. She opened the doors for many women and believes that once a critical mass of consciousness is reached, a shift will occur. A shift to the understanding that we live in One World with equal rights and opportunities for both women and men.
