Unveiling the Truth: Misrepresentation of Women's Role in Ancient Hindu Culture
A 60-minute session on how women's place in ancient Hindu culture gets told and retold: the goddesses we pray to, the heroines we grew up on, the rituals at weddings and funerals, and the rules at home. Did the old ways honour women, restrict them, or both, and who gets to say? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
