Decoding Mithya In the Silence, We Find Our Voice: Decoding the Myths of Womanhood Through the eyes of Sakhi, the sutradhar, Decoding Mithya unravels five deeply entrenched myths that have shaped perceptions of womanhood across generations. Each chapter peels back layers of societal conditioning, inviting readers to reflect, question, and reclaim their narratives. 1. Behind the Pink Veil – How did pink become a “girl’s color”? This chapter uncovers the historical and cultural constructs behind color stereotyping and its impact on gender identity. 2. Toy Stories of Silent Conditioning – From dolls to trucks, children’s toys shape their understanding of gender roles. This section explores how early socialization cements gender expectations. 3. The Silent War Within – Feminine vs. Feminism—are they truly at odds? A journey into the internal conflicts women face as they navigate societal ideals of femininity and empowerment. 4. Breaking the Red Silence: Menstruation and Misogyny Revealed – Menstruation, a biological process, remains shrouded in stigma. This chapter dismantles myths around periods and the deeply ingrained misogyny they perpetuate. 5. Navigating the Maze of Money Myths – Financial literacy is not a gendered skill, yet economic dependence has been normalized for women. This chapter challenges the pink tax, financial exclusion, and the path to financial empowerment. Blending narrative storytelling, real-life accounts, psychological insights, and philosophical reflections, Decoding Mithya is not just a book—it’s a call to rethink, unlearn, and reclaim the truth behind these myths.
