Women in a Man’s World
In honor of International Women’s Day this past Monday, I’m sharing a picture of a group of female autorickshaw drivers in Chennai. The auto driver my friends and I hired for the day introduced us to these women, who happily posed for a picture. They were so friendly!
These women are definitely operating in a male-dominated industry. I don’t know the statistics, but I can count the number of women auto drivers I’ve seen in the last 4 1/2 months on one hand. Good job ladies!
This post is part of Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday series. Happy weekend!

Hello! I’d like to know more about what you’re doing in Chennai. I’m coming to KYM from May -August and would like to know some fellow female travelers. Please get in touch with me! -Jacqueline
Hi Jacqueline! I’m volunteering with a women’s rights NGO in Chennai. My placement finishes this week though and I’m heading back to the US to search for a full-time position in international development. You will like it here, though it will be quite hot. Good luck!!
