Expressions of Parity : A conversation anthology

What happens when history is told not through analysis, but through voices—unfiltered, reflective, and in conversation? Expressions of Parity is a dialogue-driven anthology that brings together interviews with female and third-gender figures from India and France, tracing their lived experiences, struggles, and intellectual journeys.

Each conversation is an act of listening, an attempt to understand the nuances of identity, agency, and social change beyond rigid binaries. These discussions move beyond representation, capturing the fluid negotiations of power, culture, and self-definition in different historical and contemporary contexts.

At its heart, Expressions of Parity is about presence—the voices that have always been here, now speaking on their own terms.
