Junglee girl

Description:

'Junglee' - stemming from the Sanskrit root, 'jungle' - is used in India to label the wild, the uncivilized, the untamed. Used most commonly as condemnation or censure, it aims to break the spirit of women yearning for personal power. In these eleven tales of awakening - intensely sexual yet ambiguous - the female protagonists recklessly pursue their sensual paths through a complex social world that seeks to shut them out.
