Radhika Vaz

A wildly original and humorous account of growing up as an Indian woman. Unladylike is a memoir that spans four decades of the author’s life. From stories about a childhood spent wishing she could change everything about her life (including her parents), to her chronically delayed puberty, and the self-esteem issues that accompany a flat chest, Vaz doesn’t pull any punches. She takes us through her college years, where under the vigilance of Catholic nuns she grappled with a major decision—to have or not have pre-marital sex as well as the discovery that the female body is capable of some very strange sounds at very inappropriate times. Out of respect for various ex-boyfriends, she will dwell on just one man—her wheat-eating, milk-drinking Jat husband. From their extra-long courtship (that he didn’t tell his mother about), to their wedding day and beyond, there are lessons for every girl who has ever thought ‘one day I’d like to be married’. The lesson is: ‘Don’t say you weren’t warned’

"Probably the funniest person you will ever meet" - Harper’s Bazaar

"Frank, fun and unapologetically feminist, Unladylike will have you chuckling and nodding along in equal measures" - Vogue

"Unladylike, is like reading Judy Blume, Candace Bushnell and Tina Fey all rolled into one" - Newslaundry

"She voices every woman’s secrets" - Indian Express

"Vaz is a rebel in disguise" - TimeOut

"Effortlessly funny" - Times of India

"Quirky, uplifting blend of humour, self-introspection, and critical thinking" - Firstpost

"Brutally and hilariously honest" - Newslaundry

"[U]nlike many “celebrity” authors, Vaz writes lucidly and always has a point to make. There are enough giggles waiting around the corner. I highly recommend you buy your teenage daughter this book for all the early lessons in feminism... Believe me, you’ll thank Radhika Vaz for telling it like it is" - Mint

"The Vaz we get to meet in Unladylike is a treat. Even in our differences, [she] allows her readers to remember their own childhood, teenage years and youth. How often do we let society dictate out thoughts and how often do we commit to things we did not want to just because the rest of the world expected us to do so? These are questions that Vaz allows us to ask ourselves, by merely telling us about the eventful and memoir-worthy life she has lived" - International Business Times

"We are hooked to this one, especially since few like Ms. Vaz can make gender issues fun" - Mid-Day
