Femina - November 2024

In this issue

Femina celebrates 65 years of existence this year with 13 incredible, extraordinary women who represent all of us. The magazine was first published in 1959 and, in the decades that followed, has established itself as a trusted companion for the Indian woman in so many ways. It’s in that spirit that we put together this issue with a very special feature. We usually put forth an annual list called the ‘Fab 40’ celebrating extraordinary women who do really cool stuff. This year, we’ve bumped the list up to 65 for every year that Femina has been around. We hope that flipping through these pages will inspire you, motivate you, and provide you with whatever fuel it is that you need. Scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, tattoo artists, singers, actors – you name it, and they’re included. That too, from every single part of this country.
