Your mum had an affair. With patriarchy.
And she didn't even know it. Neither did her mother. Neither, sometimes, did we.
We're working on a piece about the beliefs the women in our families carried without question. About a woman's place, her ambitions, her body, her silence, her sacrifice. The things that got said at the dinner table and never questioned. The things that got passed down like heirlooms.
At Decoding Draupadi, we want to write something that actually reflects all of us. If you have a story, or know someone who does, we'd love to hear it. DM us, comment on this post or share this with a woman whose story deserves to be told.
