Yet this is seldom talked about, seldom recognised and rarely publicised. This conversation is inspired by the power of biblio-diversity in giving voice to the marginal, unheard, unknown and untold – deliberating on what makes ordinary women extraordinary by discerning the lived experiences of their subjects. How do these women overcome the odds, the destiny that is supposed to be fated on them? How much freedom do they have to act and how do they navigate their agency? What values, action and practices turn ordinary women extraordinary?Room: Event Room
