Jarrod Kimber invited me on his Red Inker podcast<\/a> to chat about my favourite chapter. Chaper 11, Moving On. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spoke about Pramila Bhatt and Neha Tanwar and Punam Raut, their stories of family and babies, of miscarriages and depression, of success and satisfaction. And also about the many women whose names we won’t know because they never made it that far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chapter, and our chat, is about cricket and marriage and family and the many choices that women make, sometimes because they want to, sometimes because they have to, and sometimes because it’s not really a choice at all. It’s about personal and social expectations, and how a woman can be many things. But also a system that doesn’t do much to support her in all that she is and can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
