We Are Heroines pays tribute to the rich history of the Bangladeshi women's movement from the 1970s to the present day. It explores and analyses the rise and fall of the women's movement, thus showing us the truth of gender inequality in Bangladesh. For too long, women have been dehumanised and rejected by their communities if they defy social norms. As a consequence, women's experiences have been flatlined under the male gaze. We Are Heroines is a comprehensive study where there is no stone left unturned. The writer empowers the reader to take positive action for social change. The book allows us to feel hopeful but pushes us to recognise our community's future is in our hands, as we have an ethical duty to do so.
Do we march forward, or do we stay stagnant?
We Are Heroines has the answer.
Sejuti Mansur is an author and journalist specialising in women's, refugees and children's rights. In addition, you may have seen as her as the host of the Unfinished Memoirs. A program where she hosts young talents in thought-provoking conversations about the content in a creative space. A platform where young talents are not only elevated, but celebrated.
As her family heritage is held in Bangladesh, she focus upon issues within Bangladeshi societies.
She aims to be honest and progressive in her writing. As a young British-Bangladeshi, she grew up in a predominantly white community. Therefore, she understood the power in being different and embracing the "otherness" in her identity.
She hopes her books inspire you to question society. She hopes it inspires you to not be a bystander, but an active ally for humanity.
