Are women genetically better leaders? Are women naturally more emotionally intelligent? Do women need to adopt masculine traits to seem more leader-like? Is our society ready for what women are really capable of?
While women have come a long way from being subservient and mute spectators to their strong, independent counterparts, there is more distance to cover, especially when it comes to breaking gender and societal stereotypes.
In her book Letters to Daughters of Tomorrow, author Shamoly Khera highlights the stereotypes that women have been facing through generations—years of conditioning under the veil of tradition and culture—that needs to be conquered to make space for the new women of tomorrow. This book gives insights into how a woman can overcome everyday obstacles that her own conditioning creates, as well as challenge the stereotypical perceptions of those around her.
Shamoly Khera refers to the current generation of working women as the 'transition generation'—the one that will pave the way for more women to go beyond expected roles and do justice to newer ones that deserve their talent and potential. These are her letters to the daughters of the world— herein resides the key to shaping the daughters of today into the confident women of tomorrow.
Review
‘Women have played a strong role in my life, and Letters to Daughters of Tomorrow is a great reminder on how women can make a place for themselves in this competitive world and achieve everything they have ever wished for. This book will inspire every woman who picks it up.’

‘Shamoly Khera, in her book Letters to Daughters of Tomorrow, has weaved an insightful tapestry of the role and criticality of women in society in general and India in particular. She casts no gender judgment, but seeks equanimity and empathy through a well-crafted narrative gleaned from both research as also from her conversations with many. This is a book which is gender neutral and yet compels the reader to recalibrate their thinking. Only so that tomorrow is a better and more just place.’

‘This book reminds me of my childhood. It set me thinking and brought back memories. With the reflections of the past looked with lens of today, this book makes a very exciting read and wants the readers asking for more. Shamoly has written this book exploring deep personal areas which seems to be her own and also seems to belong to every woman. Her style of writing is very different which makes one want to read the next chapter immediately after the previous one. This book is not only meant for young girls, but also for today’s mothers who were daughters yesterday. I encourage everyone to read this book for experiencing depth of the inclusion mindset.
