About
Taslima Nasrin is a Bangladeshi writer and poet. Her first book of poetry was published in 1986, and the second published in 1989, was highly successful. In 1992 she received the literary award Ananda in India for her selected columns. Due to the “radical” nature of her works, Nasrin has been subject to many criticisms from Bangladeshi, and Islamic scholars; however many would argue that Nasrin’s works illuminate an Islamic feminist voice. Nasrin has been living in exile since 1994 traveling throughout the West, and other countries in Southeast Asia.
