What Women Want

What Women Want: Understanding the Female Voter in Modern India is a political reportage book by journalist Ruhi Tewari that examines how Indian women vote and how their role in elections has changed over time. The book is described as a timely and deeply reported work that draws on fieldwork, data, and political analysis to explain the rise of the woman voter from a quieter participant to a decisive force in modern Indian politics. It focuses on state-level and community-level variation, showing that women voters are not a single bloc and that their political priorities are shaped by region, caste, class, and local conditions. The work reflects nearly two decades of reporting and aims to answer why women vote the way they do, what issues matter most to them, and how political parties respond to them. The book is associated with the title "What Women Want" and the ISBN 9789353459062, which matches the listing attributed to Ruhi Tewari and Juggernaut. The listing also indicates a hardcover edition. This book is relevant to readers interested in Indian politics, gender studies, electoral behavior, and journalism-based nonfiction.
