Are women genetically better leaders? Are women naturally more emotionally intelligent? Do women
need to adopt masculine traits to seem more leader-like? Is our society ready for what women are
really capable of?
While women have come a long way from being subservient and mute spectators to their strong,
independent counterparts, there is more distance to cover, especially when it comes to breaking
gender and societal stereotypes.
In her book Letters to Daughters of Tomorrow, author Shamoly Khera highlights the stereotypes that
women have been facing through generations—years of conditioning under the veil of tradition and
culture—that needs to be conquered to make space for the new women of tomorrow. This book gives
insights into how a woman can overcome everyday obstacles that her own conditioning creates, as
well as challenge the stereotypical perceptions of those around her.
Shamoly Khera refers to the current generation of working women as the 'transition generation'—the
one that will pave the way for more women to go beyond expected roles and do justice to newer
ones that deserve their talent and potential. These are her letters to the daughters of the world—
herein resides the key to shaping the daughters of today into the confident women of tomorrow
