I recently attended Tata Steel Kalam 2015, a Literary Meet in the City of Joy- Kolkata. On the last day, I attended a truly enthralling AND enlightening session on women’s sexuality. It was the penultimate session for the day, with two very intelligent, talented, pretty AND humble writers- Ira Trivedi AND Shereen El-Feki. Overall, it was a game-changing experience for me!
Both have reasearched on the changing dynamics
of sexuality in the conservative societies of India AND the Arab world
respectively, and have written about this bold, controversial, sensitive yet highly
necessary topic needing large scale discussion, in their books- “India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st Century” AND “Sex
and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World” respectively.
Presenting these multi-faceted personalities' bios from the Literary Meet booklet:
