I have to appreciate the exceptional artwork by Niloufer Wadia that complements the short-stories perfectly. I do wish that the stories were longer but since it is a children&#8217;s book, the length is appropriate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an incredibly important book. In the hands of a little girl who has a dream that people tell her she cannot achieve, this book can be momentous in inspiring her.&nbsp;There were many women mentioned in this book who I knew nothing about. It made me realize that there are many inspiring women around us and there is so much I can learn from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone faces difficulties in their life at some point or another. There is no hurdle that you cannot overcome and be who you want to be. This book is proof of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend this book to everyone. This is a book that needs to be shared so if you are looking for a book to gift someone, pick this up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"> <strong>Connect with me on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tavleen_words\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tavleensoni\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/32793447-tavleen-kaur\">Goodreads<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add this book\u00a0on\u00a0Goodreads\u00a0Buy this book on Amazon Source: Review Copy Format:&nbsp;Paperback Pages:&nbsp; 112 Publisher: Scholastic India&nbsp; Publication Date:&nbsp; 15 October 2019 My Rating:&nbsp;4 stars<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2019\/12\/08\/__trashed-2\/#more-12066\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Girl Power: Indian Women Who Broke the Rules by Neha J Hiranandini (Book Review)<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,99,197,202,225],"class_list":["post-12066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-book-review","tag-books","tag-girl-power","tag-graphic-novels","tag-indian-author"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8053,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2017\/06\/07\/sick-of-being-healthy-by-monisha-k-gumber-book-review\/","url_meta":{"origin":12066,"position":0},"title":"Sick of Being Healthy by Monisha K.
