Jung published Unveiling India in 1987. It is a travel diary focusing on interviews with women. She has written several subsequent books on the same, talking to women about their everyday lives, including Night of the New Moon: Encounters with Muslim women in India (1993), Seven Sisters (1994). Breaking the Silence (1997) is based on conversations on women's lives from around the world.
Others are maltreated by alcoholic fathers or married off early or sexually abused,[9] though some find refuge in schools set up by well-meaning NGOs. A section of this book is part of the NCERT Class 12 English Book in CBSE Schools [4] Jung is noted for her lively and vivid descriptions.[9]
