For more inspiration about what ONE WOMAN can do to make a difference in this old world, please read this post narrative and open up Rita’s flickr site to see how much we need to connect to make a difference, just as my critterly folk are connecting more and more in their quest to gain enough light to share in such dark places as Rita here exposes.
After she had studied in the USA Rita Banerji went back to her Calcutta and worked there as a journalist, author, political activist. Not easy in the country of Gandhi, patience and old structures of social hierarchy to support enlightenment. She wrote a great book “Sex and Power” reflecting the female situation in India. And she made heart touching photos!

My book “Sex and Power” was released by Penguin Books. My website is www.ritabanerji.com – I am also the founder and chief administrator of the “50 Million Missing Campaign”, which fights female genocide in India.
