A lecture on a collection of short stories of women’s struggles and successes in a state in South India will take place today in Santa Monica.
The translator of “Daughters of Kerala,” Achamma C. Chanderskaran, will give the lecture on the stories about Indian women and the various religions — Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism — of the state.
Kerala was considered one of the world’s 50 greatest places of a lifetime by the National Geographic Society Traveler and is the most literate state in India, with a literacy rate of 92 percent.
The lecture starts at 11:15 a.m. in room No. 214 at the Santa Monica College Art Complex.
