From what keeps women out of the workplace, to stories that connect law and humanity, here are five female authors to end your year and with. 'Yours Legally' by Sonia Sahijwani 'Yours Legally' is a collection of six short stories related to the interesting and unusual field of law narrated through the eyes of Sia, the protagonist. These are independent yet connected stories with the common elements of law, and humanity. The book is based on and inspired by real life incidents and events which I was fortunate enough to experience and witness, and stories which I felt needed to come out in the literary world. It has been written in a way that it appeals to not just those who are a part of the profession but even those who might not have ever stepped inside the court nor heard anything about the law, says Sonia Sahijwani Saini.
