The book’s subject, Mikee, was a constant companion when I used to cover for the Mr Gay World competition here in the Philippines. We started communicating through Facebook not long after the time when the story in the book started. As a fellow supporter of gay rights, Ad and I had discussed about writing for a website called then known as. The book’s author, Ansh Das though is hardly a stranger. ![]() With mostly friends and familiar people playing major characters in the story, I almost felt guilty, like I was peeking at someone’s diary.

Littler Women: A Modern Retelling Book Information: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When reading this book, it is evident that hooks narrates it from a place of passion for the lay-feminist. bell hooks knew those days-when women were defined by men’s voices and beliefs as to their capabilities when women could not wear pants when their bodies did not belong to them when they had no voice or vote or power and when clothing, much like the patriarchal conditioning of their time, restrained their bodies and their movements. But feminism is so much more than that it’s about liberation, choices, and having a voice when once we had none of these.
