‘Women Empowerment’ is a phrase which has been floating
around in the aura since quite some time. There are dozens of books based on
the theme of strengthening the identity of women in society. Jane Austen in her
novel Persuasion rendered really
well, “I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies
instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our
lives.” Most of the time, women are considered and expected to be the epitome
of delicacy; which is not a universal truth.
A Phase Unknown- Woman
A Tribute is a book
very different from the works, previously published. It does not imitate or
follows any earlier work. This book is a mélange of various young, aspiring and
established writers, who are passionate about making a difference in world
through their works which are sensitive as well as full of insights.
A venture initiated by Shreyasi Phukon, edited and compiled
by Sharanya Bhattacharya and Nilesh Gowardhan includes the works of 17
contributors, including male and female authors/poets, differently. It is
interesting to read about the feminine sensitivity through the aspects of both
male and female authors. For the surprise of the readers, this book comprises various
genres as, short stories, poems, letter, and few else which cannot be fitted
into any particular genre.
A Phase Unknown makes a strengthening call by
questioning, poeticizing and narrating various social stigmas revolving around
in the social air regarding the identity of women. Such works are rare to find,
as it requires great courage and creativity as well, to portray the lives of the
beings, who are mostly considered ‘inconsiderable.’
This book is a tribute to all women who somehow mark a change in everyone’s
life. Hope this enlightening initiative brings some change in the
society, as the authors of this book try to obtain.
