Sometimes it takes the voice of the child, sometimes it takes the voice of the adults, who said these things, themselves. I am also compelled to state the obvious - this is not a guide on how to raise a girl and none of the headings your read are actually, logically, true. It is a satirical commentary on misogyny in modern India.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you're someone who grew up hearing this is not how a girl should be, you'll deeply resonate with it :) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✰ 14 x 7.5 cm - \u003c\/strong\u003ePocket-sized\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✰\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Wiro-bound - \u003c\/strong\u003eSturdy, simple, and easy to use anywhere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✰\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 300 gsm pages- \u003c\/strong\u003eSturdy, simple, and easy to carry anywhere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Amsu House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48034031796465,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/2172\/6449\/files\/69.png?v=1779371393"},{"product_id":"everything-i-believed-was-true-as-a-small-brown-girl-copy","title":"Through The Eyes Of A Deeply Feeling Brown Girl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrough The Eyes Of A Deeply Feeling Brown Girl\u003c\/em\u003e is a mini book of musings about the mundanest of things in life.
