El libro contiene breves reseñas biográficas y autobiográficas de mujeres científicas que trabajan en la India.

Esta colección representa la diversidad cultural del país, así como un amplio abanico de disciplinas, de modo que cualquier estudiante puede beneficiarse de las ideas y experiencias de mujeres profesionales con las que puede relacionarse a muchos niveles. [El título de la colección es un guiño al tratado del siglo XII, Lilavati, escrito por el matemático indio Bhāskara II en el que se discuten problemas de aritmética, álgebra, geometría, etc. a través de conversaciones poéticas dirigidas a su hija Lilavati.​] El libro se ha traducido al malayalam como "Leelavatiyude Pennmakkal", publicado por la Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishath. Una versión más corta (y diferente) de Lilavati's Daughters se publicó como "The Girl's Guide to a Life in Science", editado por Ram Ramaswamy, Rohini Godbole y Mandakini Dubey (coeditado con Young Zubaan, Nueva Delhi). Se trata también de una iniciativa del Panel de Mujeres en la Ciencia (WiS) de la Academia de Ciencias de la India, en Bangalore. (es)

This collection represent the cultural diversity of the country as well as a diverse range of disciplines, so that any student could gain from the insights and experiences of professional women to whom they may be able to relate at many levels. [The title of the collection is a nod to the 12th-century treatise, Lilavati, written by the Indian mathematician Bhāskara II wherein problems in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, etc. are discussed via poetic conversations addressed to his daughter Lilavati.] The book has been translated in Malayalam as "Leelavatiyude Pennmakkal", published by the Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishath. A shorter (and different) version of Lilavati's Daughters was brought out as "The Girl's Guide to a Life in Science" edited by Ram Ramaswamy, Rohini Godbole and Mandakini Dubey (co-published with Young Zubaan, New Delhi). This is also an initiative of the Women in Science (WiS) Panel of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore. (en)
