It's a collection of editorial pieces on women-oriented issues written by Mrinal Pande for the Daily Hindustan, Kaadambini and a few other publications.
Mrinal Pande (born 1946) is an Indian television personality, journalist and author, and until 2009 chief editor of Hindi daily Hindustan. She left Hindustan on 31 August 2009. She was appointed chairperson of Prasar Bharati, the official apex body[clarification needed] of Indian broadcast media by Congress Government. This appointment commenced on 23 January 2010. She was replaced by Dr. A. Surya Prakash as chairperson of Prasar Bharati. She also hosts a weekly interview show Baaton Baaton Mein on Lok Sabha TV under Congress Government. She is the daughter of the Hindi novelist Shivani. Earlier she worked for Doordarshan and STAR News during Congress regime. She has also written a few short stories. She was the editor of the popular women's magazine Vama from 1984-87. The Government of India awarded her the fourth highest civilian honour of Padma Shri in 2006
Editorials written for a certain time period seem to lose some of their sense as the time changes, even though the thoughts remain the same. However, I believe this was not the best of Ms.Pande, and I should probably read something else written by her.
