Stories for South Asian Supergirls by Raj Kaur Khaira

Celebrate the incredible achievements of South Asian women from around the world in this empowering and beautifully illustrated book. South Asian Supergirls showcases fifty trailblazing women who have shaped culture, history, and progress through determination, courage, and talent.

From award-winning entertainers like Jameela Jamil and Mindy Kaling, to pioneering business leaders such as Indra Nooyi, Anjali Sud, and Ruchi Sanghvi, this collection highlights figures who continue to inspire change across generations.

Alongside the well known are equally remarkable stories of lesser known heroines—such as Noor Inayat Khan, the brave British Muslim spy whose contributions during the Second World War remained unsung for decades.

Perfect for fans of Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, this heartwarming read offers a rich celebration of identity and heritage. Each profile is accompanied by a vibrant illustration from one of ten talented South Asian artists, making this a visual and emotional treasure for all ages.

A perfect gift for young readers, this book encourages children, especially girls of South Asian heritage, to dream boldly and unapologetically.
