She could follow her husband into the fire along with her children. Or she could save herself and her little children from a terrible death. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcclaimed journalist Radheshyam Jadhav brings to readers true inspiring stories of women farmers and farm widows, like Vidya and many more, from the 'farmer suicide zone' of Maharashtra. These women have battled the tremendous odds-of poverty, misogyny and inequity-stacked against them to herald a silent revolution to overcome agrarian crisis. These feisty women wake up every morning and battle for survival. Suicide, unlike their husbands, is a luxury they can't afford. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtensively researched along with personal interviews, the book captures the women's stories and constructive struggle and how they discovered in themselves endless reserves of strength. While the men are driven to despair and death by debts, the women have fought their battles and found answers to the crisis. These simple, and often uneducated, women have developed their own methodology and science to manage and tackle drought and are experimenting with every possible option to give themselves and their families a life of dignity. They have taken up tough challenges and are sowing determination and hard work to achieve their dreams. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book captures their belief that dreams often come true. And hope is what keeps life going.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (IN)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892635222167,"sku":"9789388271035","price":260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789388271035.webp?v=1781187886","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/harvesting-hope-in-the-suicide-zone-9789388271035","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
