Woman— the eternal symbol of Shakti. Shakti is not force. It is the energy that integrates people, communities and nations. It is therefore woman’s integrated Shakti that will build a new civilization for the new age. Not only does this book acknowledge the potential of the feminine force, but it also outlines its massive, all encompassing role against the continuing backdrop of a largely patriarchal world.

His message is indeed a powerful one: a new civilization awaits us all, a

civilization built by women, a civilization of harmony and peace and

progress.

What makes this book a valuable addition to any library is the fact that each argument is backed up by expert data and socio-legal studies. Above all the author’s message is one of hope and promise, for he is certain that in the future women’s voices and contribution will grow from strength to strength.
