Talking about the book, which was launched here on Tuesday, Taapsee said: "I got to associate with the book through sheer luck. I was asked to write a foreword and I was so amazed to read the stories of these women who are mentioned here in the book."

She added: "I think it's the right time to acknowledge, it is because of women like these that we can actually see a better society from what we were in and we will continue to strive to make it even better. I really hope these stories can instill a certain kind of faith in change and confidence in all those others who are probably just a little short of making a big difference."
