“Silent Womb: The Triumphs and Tribulations of Indian Women" is a collection of thirteen stories that narrate the complex lives of Indian women across different time periods, highlighting their courage and the societal challenges they face. The stories illustrate how they have faced and overcome gender-based discrimination, isolation, and harassment to make significant contributions to social, political, and economic transformations. The author portrays the gradual but impactful shift in women's roles, reflecting their growing empowerment and the ongoing fight for gender equality.

‘Silent Womb’ is a powerful and important collection of stories from Dinesh Kumar, highlighting the oppression and abuse of Indian women, both physical and mental, within a patriarchal and misogynistic society. Through his vivid storytelling and insightful prose, he tells tales that are intended to shock and make the reader think. Dinesh is a voice for the many voiceless Indian women who suffered under this system. I commend it to all who wish to educate themselves on this vital issue: Stephen Black in his foreword to the book.
