In her most recent book, Ms. Maithili Rao investigates the change in ladies‘ depiction from deceived objects areas of strength for to, adjusted courageous women who can now be heroes.

Present day sentiment comedies have assumed the personality of the wildly free, and some of the time mistook young lady for a solid feeling of character.

Rao’s book ‘Smita Patil, A Short Radiance’ was distributed in 2015. She co-altered two books in 2022 – ‘The Most seasoned Romantic tale, A Parenthood Treasury’, and ‘Movies Through Ladies’ Eyes, An Investigation of Seventeen of 17 Ladies Overseers of India’.
