UnsquashableGirl is the writing and speaking platform of Gargi Sen, a New York–based lawyer and nonfiction writer whose work examines how harm operates across personal and institutional life—and how people rebuild clarity, dignity, and safety after systems fail.
Gargi’s writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Revealer, and she has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal on issues of privacy and power.
This work examines harm that is often minimized, denied, or reframed as personal failure—across families, workplaces, institutions, and cultures.
Through nonfiction writing, UnsquashableGirl explores how power operates when accountability disappears, how silence is enforced through proximity and respectability, and what it takes to survive when protection is conditional or withdrawn.
Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, this work focuses on naming what is routinely left unnamed—how systems fracture reality, how people are made to doubt their own experience, and rebuild clarity, dignity, and safety.
This work resonates with readers who:
If you’ve ever felt alone in an experience that others insisted “wasn’t that bad,” you’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone here.
Gargi regularly writes and speaks on power, harm, and survival across personal and institutional contexts. Her work has appeared in national publications, she has been a guest on international podcasts, and she has spoken at legal, academic, and professional forums in the U.S. and abroad.
