Taslima Nasrin / Meet The Author
Meyebela, My Bengali Girlhood
In this compelling memoir of growing up female in a Muslim world, Nasrin (author of Shame) traces the influences that led her to become a doctor, writer, and outspoken proponent of women's rights and religious tolerance. A recipient of several human rights awards, Nasrin has lived in exile from Bangladesh since 1994, when a death fatwa was issued against her. She will be interviewed about her life and work by Meredith Tax, Women's World. Book signing and reception follows.
