Klappentext zu „Pink Sari Revolution, English edition “
Sampat Pal was married at twelve, essentially illiterate. Today she leads a vigilante group fighting for women s rights: the Pink Gang.When Sheelu was arrested for stealing from a powerful politician, she was sure that she would be forced to accept a prison sentence, not least because she alleged that she had been abused b y a man in the politician s household. But then Sampat Pal heard word of the charges, and the formidable commander of the pink-sari-wearing, pink-baton-wielding, 20,000-strong Pink Gang decided to shake things up.
In the story of Sampat Pal and the Pink Gang s fight for Sheelu, as well as others facing injustice and oppression, Amana Fontanella-Khan delivers a riveting portrait of women grabbing fate with their own hands and winning back their lives.
