Pink Sari Revolution by Amana Fontanella-Khan
A triumphant portrait of a fiery sisterhood changing the lives of India's women.
"With her usual deep reporting, humane storytelling, clarity of explanation, and wry humor, Fontanella-Khan brings to life a group of women who have overcome origins and odds most of us can not even imagine to create a movement that might very well change India—and the West’s image of what it means to be a woman in the Third World" -- Hanna Rosin, author of The End of Men: And the Rise of Women
"Riveting, inspiring, and relevant…. A fast-paced, powerful, and sympathetic portrait of a victim and her subaltern champion in the dusty heart of northern India." -- Meenakshi Venkat - New York Journal of Books
"A powerful, engrossing portrait of one woman’s fight for female empowerment in India. Sampat Pal’s extraordinary courage will inspire you, delight you, and fill you with hope." -- Sonia Faleiro, author of Beautiful Thing: Inside the Secret World of Bombay’s Dance Bars
"Having interviewed the principals and reviewed available newspaper accounts, Fontanella-Khan brings a novelist’s pacing to a timely page-turner that is essentially political; party politics, political corruption, and the wretched treatment of rape victims are her true subjects." -- Publishers Weekly
"An inspiring profile… highly recommended for all applicable collections." -- Library Journal
"This beautifully rendered book is a call to women everywhere to take the world into your hands, to rise and resist." -- Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues and In the Body of the World
"A fine tribute to a remarkable woman, a close look at an India that still exists beneath the economic boom of recent years, and a rousing reminder that formidable will can make a difference." -- The New Republic
"A nuanced humanizing portrait of a teenage-mother-turned-social-crusader who is loud, boastful and blessed with a wicked sense of humor." -- John McMurtrie - San Francisco Chronicle
