Description

Come to Canada Water Library for this inspirational free event with feminist, activist and author Sangeeta Pillai. For every woman who has been told she's "too much," this is a memoir about becoming exactly who you're meant to be.

Sangeeta Pillai was called a "Bad Daughter" for defying the rigid expectations placed on "good Indian girls." But in her rebellion, she found her voice.

From a harrowing childhood in a Mumbai slum-haunted by a violent father and the brutal murder of her mother-this is a story of resilience. With a fire in her belly, she battled patriarchy, chased her dreams, and built a new life in London, creating a successful podcast to inspire other women.

Bad Daughter is an inspirational feminist memoir for every woman who wants to break free. Ultimately, it's a reminder that the courage to be your authentic self can transform your own life - and the lives of those around you.

You will be able to purchase copies of the book and have them signed by the author, as well as borrow free copies from the library.

This event is part of the Books & Beyond Southwark Libraries Open Day
