Taslima Nasrin

Taslima Nasrin, born on 25 August 1962 in Mymensingh, studied medicine and practised gynaecology in a public hospital from 1986. Coming to writing through poetry, she became known for her columns on the oppression of women and her criticisms of religious obscurantism. Threatened by fundamentalists and targeted by fatwas, she had to leave Bangladesh in August 1994; she has since lived in Sweden, in Berlin, in New York and above all in Calcutta, where Indian nationality has been refused her.
