Description
"Elias is bold, more-so she is inquisitive. . . . This book is pithy, it's smart. I'm glad it exists." —Fariha Róisín, author of Like a Bird
Essays by an emerging writer that touch on themes of family, culture, body image, sex, and feminism
Besharam roughly translates to "shameless" in Hindi. This collection from Indian writer Priya-Alika Elias is a bold, sassy, and brilliantly written book on love, dating, body image, consent, and other issues that women today relate to and men should be thinking about.
Elias reflects on, and challenges, the ideas of how women are told by society to be humble, obedient, and ashamed of their actions and desires.
Her writing is fresh, feminist, and thought-provoking, disrupting taboos and exploring what it means to be a young woman in today's world.
