More Description- Winner, 2018 Kindle Book Awards. - Honorable Mention, 2018 Readers' Favorite Awards. - "Official Selection", 2018 New Apple Summer eBook Awards for Excellence in Independent Publishing. Rajapakse explores identity, values and women's role in society through the poems in Chant of a Million Women. She also looks at the concepts of beauty and the standards imposed on women to conform. Some of the poems are hard hitting and take on subjects that are uncomfortable to talk about like rape, female gender mutilation, abuse and male dominance. She talks about power and the quiet force that keeps half the world moving even when there is no hope.
