paperback    ISBN 13: 9781913211851 | ISBN 10: 1913211851

Set in contemporary India, Sangeeta Mulay's unforgettable debut novel is a compelling story of four unforgettable characters:
 
Aparna - a courageous campaigner of rationality and freedom of expression. Will the patriarchal grip of a religious society manage to silence her?
 
Hari – the passionate founder of a religious organisation. As Hari becomes a rising star for the local Hindu right-wing, will he lose himself?
 
Naseem - Aparna's wise daughter who is discovering her sexuality. Will she have the strength to stand up for her mother against societal stigma?
 
Kashi - Hari's daughter who is in love with science and…girls? Confused about her sexuality, will she be able to lead life on her own terms?
 
Confronting issues of religion, bigotry, sex and politics, Disobedient Women tells the interwoven stories of two families and their battle of ideologies.
 
A novel of the choices women make under pressure, where to be disobedient is the only option that offers change.
