Mumbai is an assault on the senses but a city deserving of attention. Cosmopolitan and multi-cultural, Mumbai offers diversity in religion, cuisine, cultures, communities, and language. To explore the feminist side of this India metropolitan center, we looked to celebrate women-owned businesses, female-empowering organizations, and local ladies who are worth supporting in this eclectic city. For Mumbai-bound travelers, we spotlight the woman-only “FemaPalooza” comedy show and other local finds you won’t see in any guidebook.
Dropped an h from the link for No Lights, No Lyrca. The link is broken.
Thank you! We have fixed this.
Hmm, I wonder why hotels like Abode, which make a consistent effort towards promoting women-driven taxis, etc were not included. And why not mention Anita Dongre’s clothes stores, she who fought so much patriarchy at home just to work outside home, and who now is a fashion superstar in spite of the opposition? And also clothes from Sewa and Dastkar, which engage women artisans to craft traditional clothes and handicrafts? This seems poorly-researched.
Hi Nishani, this article is by no means exhaustive. I have mentioned people and places that I know about and have visited, or walks I have been part of. There are many places engaging women artisans to craft traditional clothes but I had to choose one. There was a limit on the number of people I could feature.
I’m sorry you didn’t like this piece. Abode is a good suggestion and I will keep it in mind for future stories.
thank you.
