I just stumbled across this draft of a post that I failed to actually post back in January….
“Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen has been chosen for the prestigious Simone de Beauvoir feminist award in recognition of her writing on rights for women,” reports Sify News.
Also, just FYI, you can read some letters of support for Salima Nasreen, including an especially powerful one from Salman Rushdie, published in the Council for Secular Humanism’s magazine Free Inquiry.
