The price of freedom
In 1994 a young poet from rural Bangladesh, Taslima Nasrin, plunged the country into a wave of general strikes and mass protest. Her crime: to write her thoughts about how religious fundamentalism has consigned women to a secondary role in modern society. For her outspokenness, the nation s religious leaders issued a fatwa against her, literally putting a price on her head. She now lives in exile in Sweden, and continues to rail against the forces of oppression despite attempts to silence her. Member of a series: Fearless Series: Stories from Asian Women.
