You will meet Punjabi women involved in politics, leaders who have won awards for their leadership, inspirational philanthropists. But also "ordinary" Punjabi women, too.
They bring to the readership their personal experiences, including gender inequality, racism, sexism, and the differing family dynamics.
Learn about the highly valuable contributions that the Punjabi women of Britain have made to not only their community but also to the wider British society.
These stories are filled with the wisdom that these Punjabi women have learned throughout their lives and are now willing to share with you.
Read stories of how adversity was overcome, how families were able to obtain an education for their daughters in the Punjab when this was not encouraged, of charitable bodies that have been set up to empower women.
Read contributions from Lady Kishwar Desai, Dr Kamel Hothi, OBE, Kuljit Kaur Sharma, Kalbir Bains, Seema Malhotra MP and others.
This is a very important book and deserves to be in every school and every council library throughout the UK.
It is by Anita Goyal and Aastha Singania and published by Matador at £12.99. The author's royalties from the book's sale will go to help support the work of the Hemraj Goyal Foundation to support a livelihood project for vulnerable women and offer education for girls living in Punjab, India.
