A transgender folk artist and president of the Karnataka Folk Academy, her life-journey has been nothing short of epic. When as a young boy, Manjunath discovered he felt more like a woman, he was ostracised and mocked by his family and peers. The transformation into Manjamma, a performer of the Jogati Nritya, was a testimony to her grit and determination. Jogati Nritya is the dance form of the Jogappa transgender community, and Manjamma became its leading proponent, popularizing it at the national stage. From being stripped of her modesty to being given one of the highest civilian honours of the country, Manjammas is an inspiring, heart-rending story that she tells in this book with great candour and remarkable honesty.
