- An inspirational young adults' book, which celebrates an artist's passion for the creative life
- A visual tribute to active, mobile women everywhere, who are equal to all the situations they find themselves in
- Page after page of visual stories, asking to be decoded in diverse ways
- A playful inversion of the male gaze - a woman delighting in other women's lives, rather than setting herself up in competition with them
- An exercise in fantasy, delightful and yet poignant, given the circumscribed life that the artist leads
With little formal schooling, and married into a labouring family when she was very young, SANGITA JOGI lives in Rajasthan, in a traditional patriarchal set-up. As a young mother and daughter-in-law, she is kept busy with household chores—her time is not her own and her mobility curtailed. She draws when she can find the hours of an afternoon, and at night. And when she does, her confident and playful lines dream up enchanted worlds, exploring and celebrating possible other lives.
