Great Inspiring writer - Sudha Menon

Coming to her early life history, she was born in Mumbai where she completed her studies before pursuing her childhood dream of becoming journalist.  After coming through 20 years life of being journalist she started to work on her dream.(authoring of book). Her first book,Leading Ladies: Women who inspire India was launched in 2010.

A Women who encouraged and support other women. when i start to read about her i saw her passion towards empowerment of fellow being. Her inspirational words admired me well.

When I start to read about her previous journey, i came to knew that she was completely trusted by her mother and sister." In our life,without any expectation ,If someone starts to trust and support us means we can achieve greater heights in life, especially from our family." Her book came out successful as she worked hard on it and she made inspiring scope on it.something interesting i came across about her she writes about her own journey and the incredible women who were there to support her at every step of the way.Sometime in mid-2009, during the writing of my debut book, Leading Ladies: Women Who Inspire India, a petite, soft-spoken, Khadi-clad woman said to me: “I believe women are future of our country, if they can just take themselves seriously, value their own worth a bit more, and leverage their collective strength to make this country and indeed, our world a better place to live in.”

                                               
That woman was Elaben Bhatt and she, more than anyone else, should know about the collective strength of women. In 1972, she founded the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA), a trade union for poor, marginalized women working in the unorganised sector that has over 1.30 million members today.

These are women who lived their life at the mercy of the men in the community till Elaben helped them discover their self-worth by giving them livelihood skills and an identity of their own. SEWA went on to set up, among other things, a cooperative bank by and for women that helps women create assets, funds their enterprises and helps fulfil their dreams. The SEWA model is now replicated across many countries and she has become a formidable voice for the empowerment of women and their collective strength.

"It takes a woman to understand another woman’s dreams, her highs and lows. We women create a community, a sisterhood based on love, empathy and our readiness to be there for each other, no matter what".
