The main character, a Bhutanese woman and road-builder by occupation, is forced to deal both with the traditional, restrictive gender roles of pre-modern Bhutan and the new kinds of sexism developing as men gain economic freedom.

[5][6] During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Choden's film-maker daughter, Dechen Roder, made video recordings of her mother reading her stories and posted them to YouTube for children stuck at home during the lockdown.

[7] From around 2000, Kunzang Choden and her husband worked with other family members on renovating her ancestral home of Ogyen Choling, a manor house and a religious centre.

The manor house with its adjacent temple and all the artefacts and treasures in them were turned into a cultural heritage under the care of Ogyen Choling Foundation, a registered Civil Society Organisation in Bhutan.

Ogyen Choling Foundation also runs community projects such as the daycare centre, academic prizes in local schools and handicrafts promotion.
