'Lifting the Veil' is a bold, witty and irreverent collection of writing from India's most controversial and celebrated feminist writer. It celebrates life in all its complexities: from stories of women who seize their slim opportunities for freedom in a patriarchal world, to eye-opening accounts of the author's own extraordinary life, including the obscenity charges she faced for pieces in this book.
