About the book
There is no book written ever in Tamil on this topic so far. This anthology is a collection of essays written by 45+ authors about their grandmothers. There are extraordinary tales of common women, many of them unlettered and unrecognised so far, for their dedication to supporting the family system. It becomes the bounden duty of women and men who benefit from the patriarchal family set-up, to recognise, reminisce and acknowledge the family-building exercise and the roles of the grandmothers in it. This book is a fitting tribute to a generation of women who have been forgotten.
