'''Ritu Menon''' is an [[India]]n feminist, writer and publisher.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-06-03|title=Unlock Diaries: About being normal by Ritu Menon|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/books/unlock-diaries-about-being-normal-by-ritu-menon/story-rCbDcKRIWuaNqYY64SItXK.html|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-01-16|title=Menon, Ritu|url=https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/author/ritu-menon|access-date=2021-01-16|website=SAGE Publications Inc|language=en}}</ref>

==Career==
In 1984, Menon co-founded [[Kali for Women]], India's first exclusively feminist publishing house, along with [[Urvashi Butalia]], her longtime collaborator. In 2003, ''Kali for Women'' shut shop due to lack of commercial viability compounded by irreconcilable personal differences between Menon and Butalia. Thereafter, Menon independently founded ''Women Unlimited,'' another feminist publishing house.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Menon|first=Ritu|title=A publishing diary written during the pandemic: Ritu Menon’s literary memories and encounters|url=https://scroll.in/article/973158/a-publishing-diary-written-during-the-pandemic-ritu-menons-literary-memories-and-encounters|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Scroll.in|language=en-US}}</ref>

She has also written numerous newspaper articles and [[op-ed]]s. Her writing focuses on [[violence against women]], religion's take on women and the gender divide across the society from a strongly [[feminist]] and left-wing perspective.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ritu Menon|url=http://www.kennedy-center.org/explorer/artists/?entity_id=70701&source_type=A|publisher=The Kennedy Center|access-date=13 July 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714194756/http://www.kennedy-center.org/explorer/artists/?entity_id=70701&source_type=A|archive-date=14 July 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
