Interesting read because I didn’t know about Devika Jain’s work before. I wish the writing style was more compelling though.

Really enjoyed learning about Devaki Jain's remarkable story and journey as a feminist. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in women's/human's rights, her story is inspiring. The book was well-written and read easily for that reason.

This is a lovely memoir. I truly enjoyed reading it and I'm grateful for the advanced copy. Jain is a very interesting woman and her story should be shared.

An inspiring true story of a remarkable human being. Well written. Gripping. Truly a great read. Recommended for all!

i really enjoyed this memoir! i had never heard of devaki jain before but her story was deeply engrossing & told with the utmost care, which is always lovely. i also really liked the way jain acknowledges the fact that she grew up as a deeply privileged woman — economically speaking, at least — but that didn’t prevent her from fighting for women in general; her approach to feminism is always altruistic & intersectional, and that was probably what i loved the most about getting to know her through her memoir. a great read indeed!

Interesting stories - the story behind the title, the infant's story, how the author went not only up the trees but also elephants..
A peek into slice of life of different era and its associated challenges and the emrgence of a special section of 'feminist economics'.
