Politics Is Still Considered An Unusual Career Choice For Indian Women. This Is Perhaps Why There Are Just Eighty-One Women Members Of Parliament In The Seventeenth Lok Sabha (201924), Constituting Only 15 Per Cent Of The Strength Of The Lok Sabha Today. Yet, Though Small In Number, These Leaders Have Brought A Unique Sensitivity To Policy-Making In India And Continue To Inspire Younger Women To Become The Next Generation Of Political Leaders.In She, The Leader: Women In Indian Politics, Nidhi Sharma Profiles Seventeen Trailblazing Women Politicians Who Have Fought Social Inequalities And Patriarchal Attitudes And Created Their Own Brand Of Politics In The National Discourse. Divided Into Four Parts, The Book Begins With The Pioneers, Which Focuses On Two Exemplary Women Leaders Of The Twentieth Century And Their Distinctly Different Political Pathsindira Gandhi, Indias First And Only Woman Prime Minister, And Sucheta Kriplani, Indias First Woman Chief Minister. The Second Part, The Inheritors, Reflects On The Achievements Of The Women Leaders Who Inherited Their Political Careers From A Male Member Of The Family Or A Political Benefactor, Namely Sonia Gandhi, J. Jayalalithaa, Vasundhara Raje, Sheila Dikshit, And Mayawati. This Is Followed By The Lone Warriors, Featuring Pratibha Patil, Sushma Swaraj, Mamata Banerjee, Brinda Karat, And Ambika Soniwomen Who, Though They Had No Political Background, Chose Politics As Their Vocation And Charted Their Own Course. The Future Leaders, The Final Section, Profiles Up-And-Coming Women Leaders To Watch Out For: Smriti Z. Irani, Supriya Sule, Kavitha Kalvakuntla, Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, And Ampareen Lyngdoh.
