Fighting for justice is never easy. But long, long ago, two women, both from villages deep in the hills of Nepal, dared to call for fairness and equality, and an end to corruption. They struggled for their own rights; then they fought to win justice for others. They needed courage and a steadfast belief that change was possible.
Records of their brave actions almost disappeared. But some traces remained. Yogmaya’s and Durga Devi’s excavated little-known history is hereby presented to young readers. They will learn how these Nepali women were part of a worldwide struggle of people seeking justice at the same time as them.
