Anyamma’s life was riddled with physical and psychological abuse from the men in the life. She was a victim of cultural abuse and bore it quietly, as was the expectation. They believed they owned her, and she believed it too. From her father, to her husband, and even her son. She was viewed as a property that could be inherited. Then came along Anita, her son’s wife. Anita was newer school; born of a generation that did not accept the vices of their culture and emboldened by a wider world where women were urged to realize their freedom and own themselves. Anyamma formed an unlikely friendship with her daughter-in-law, Anita. The book, Anyamma’s freedom, tells a story about Anyamma's journey towards realizing freedom, self-discovery and love.
