For centuries, women were told their silence was sacred, their sacrifice divine, their obedience inevitable. This book dismantles that myth.

From the laws of marriage and inheritance to the veils of religion and the subtle cages of modern “protection” and “progressivism,” Women Through the Centuries and Beyond reveals how power systems shaped — and misshaped — women’s lives.

Drawing on history, medicine, and lived experience, Dr. Sudha Mahadevan offers a clear diagnosis and uncompromising remedies: equal inheritance, shared childcare, financial autonomy, and the right to live without apology.

This is not a plea for patience. It is a demand for recognition.
For women who will no longer be silenced.
For men who believe in genuine partnership.
For the next generation, who deserve a future unshackled.
