It is said’ Man proposes God disposes of’ this holds good in my case. A born rebel who yearned to live life on her own terms. A feminist and a staunch supporter of woman emancipation I wanted to reach the zenith in my chosen field. Two decades back girls weren’t given too much leverage to express their own opinions. Our society mired with patriarchy believes girls opinions don’t count, they need to get a basic college education, learn household chores and finally settle into a life of domesticity.
