‘How could she fight for the country’s freedom but not her own?’ A mini graphic memoir

Identity. Power. Love. Sex. Family. Bodies. When these aspects of life are about women, they become the things everyone is aware of, but few want to talk about without restraint or fear. In The Elephant In The Room: Women Draw Their World, 16 graphic artists from India and Germany draw and write their stories around these – and other – themes. Here is one of them: “For The Sake Of”, by Kruttika Susarla.
