The Penn Collective, Her Stories, and author Nivedita Louis hosted a book reading and discussion on 11th May 2024 exploring Mansplaining and Women in Politics.
The event covered chapters "Ellam Therindha Ekambarangal" and "Pengalum Arasiyalum" from J. Deepa Lakshmi's book, exploring how social power dynamics silence women's voices.
The discussion drew connections between everyday instances of Mansplaining and the larger structural barriers that keep women away from political leadership.
