Nor Iron Bars a Cage

Rather than a tale of despair, this is a story of extraordinary dignity. It explores how a diverse group of women—from political activists to street vendors—used their shared Buddhist values and Myanmar’s cultural heritage to create a nurturing community behind bars. Through humor, shared food, and an unbreakable spirit, they proved that while walls can hold a body, they cannot cage a mind at peace. A vital read for anyone interested in the strength of the human spirit and the cultural heart of Southeast Asia.
