This International Women’s Day, readers are invited to delve into a profound collection of contemporary stories that celebrate the journeys of inspiring women who defied societal norms and reshaped their industries. She Storms the Norms by Anisha Motwani and Priyadarshini Narendra is the sequel to Motwani’s bestselling book Storm the Norm, which brought into the spotlight untold stories of 20 brands that introduced unprecedented changes in their industries. The new book is an exploration of the stories of several women who overcame challenges and brought about change in their respective fields, ultimately to emerge leaders in their own journeys.
She Storms the Norms sheds light on the struggles faced by women who, despite working as hard as their male counterparts, find themselves held to higher standards and encountering greater obstacles in their quest for recognition. The book shares the stories of women from diverse sectors and walks of life, wherein each one of them conquers societal beliefs, structural barriers, and self-doubt, thereby making the book a testament to their resilience and determination.
Speaking on the release of their book, which has been on the stands since March 5, co-authors Motwani and Narendra shared some of their thoughts. “She Storms the Norms aims to inspire and empower women from all walks of life. Whether you’re seeking to break free from the limitations imposed by society, overcome personal obstacles, or simply discover your true identity, this book provides a roadmap for unleashing your full potential and living a fulfilling life. Within the pages of She Storms, you’ll find tales of courage, resilience, and determination that will ignite your inner strength. From women who shattered glass ceilings in male-dominated industries to those who challenged cultural norms and fought for gender equality, these stories serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us all that change is possible, and that every woman has the power to create her own destiny.”
The authors also stressed on certain key points they want readers to take away from their new literary venture. “We hope that women and especially young girls get inspired by these stories and find apt role models for how they can achieve what they want. We also hope that a large number of men, especially corporates, read this book and understand not just the hurdles but how they can be allies in helping to create a world that is gender equal in its opportunities,” they said.
She Storms the Norms encourages readers to challenge norms, become agents of change, and pursue success in both their professional and personal journeys. With the new book, the authors promise to inspire countless young women by offering a roadmap to breaking barriers and achieving self-fulfilment.
