Maithili Rao does it again! After the thoroughly engaging 'Smita Patil: A Brief Incandescence', this is yet another insightful look into the representation of women in media and films. The book is topical, observant and rich in its material. Rao situates her work in the socio-political and cultural ethos of India in the last two decades. Her exploration of stars and films would appeal to film scholars as well as general readers. If you are interested in globalisation and post-feminism in Hindi cinema, 'The Millennial Woman' is an essential text for you."
