Summary of the Book
Ponamma (1866-1943), Subamma (1890-1940) and Neelamma (1921-1991) are three generations of women hailing from Kodagu or Coorg known as the land of a thousand hills. Writing their life stories is Veena Poonacha, the fourth generation woman. She paints their portraits drawing from many sources, including ballads, folk songs, proverbs, family genealogies, family stories, personal letters and photographs. Set against the background of the cultural and social history of Coorg, with ballads which sing of women as slayers of tigers and equals of men and captors of enemies of the land, the portraits of these three women emerge in firm tones, deep colours clear lines.
