Desi at heart, Desi as charged

Historical mystery fiction including author Harini Nagerdra’s top six favorites. Each mystery is unique in its attempt at capturing historical accuracy in its setting’s place and time.

Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)
