India: Anveshi

Project Update In 1991, Anveshi published A Hundred Thousand Questions about Women's Health in Telegu. This book, inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, is still in print. Soon after, to reach a wider audience, Anveshi translated the Telegu resource into English and, along with Penguin, published Taking Charge of Our Bodies: A Health Handbook for Women in 2004. As the original Telugu edition had a regional flavor, the English version was revised as a pan-Indian edition for English speaking women. It is also in print.

View the table of contents and read reviews of the English translation (cover alongside) in two leading Indian newspapers, The Telegraph and The Hindu.
