We all have been guilty of picking sides when we first heard of MeToo accusations around the world or in India. Author Tanushree Ghosh, who launched her book, Beyond #MeToo: Ushering Women’s Era or Just Noise? on Saturday in Chandigarh was no different. But she calls it a learning process where each day you become more and more aware of the soft patriarchy that we have been conditioned with.

The author, who coincidentally shares the name with actress Tanushree Dutta, the one who started the movement in India, says she did not want to impose feminism or sound preachy to her readers.

“The book is all about the movement, the various factors which ignited it, how it changed the course of feminism and how different nations reacted to it differently. What do you do with this information depends on the readers,” she says.

Ghosh is an engineering and programme manager at Intel Corporation. She is also the founder director of Her Rights Inc. She has written for various magazines and felt the need of comprehending the movement and its intricate details in layman’s language.
