Atlanta-based children’s book writer, Shetal Shah launched a compilation of children’s poems about inspiring Indian women who embody Shakti (feminine power) on Kickstarter, a global crowdfunding platform for creative projects.

From the globally well-known Indian American producer Mindy Kaling to the lesser-known freedom fighter Kasturba Gandhi, ‘Shakti Girls’ includes poems and illustrations of women who have brought inspiration to their generation and the ones to follow.
