Magical Women by Sukanya Venkatraghavan

I never knew that an anthology could have the same voice behind different faces. So I was astonished when all the stories in this book rooted from shared problems and ended with the same note. I always love women who lift each other up and who can understand each other's problems we hide behind our veils. like, telling the world, 'Yes, it's our problem but if we stand together there will be nothing between us and our better world'. I saw that unity in this book. Every women in these multitude of stories were fierce, strong and unbreakable without losing their femininity. They were the best examples for how to be women and how you can still slay it. Power is power and there is no gender involved.

Omg! I loved each and every story so much. And I guess they were the best in their short story format. It made their stories more powerful. That ending was epic and I would read it again and again to let those words burn etched in my skin forever.

I definitely can't recommend this book enough. Just read it if you love strong women in action. You will absolutely love it.
