'''Description of Artwork:''' Bangladeshi poet, writer, columnist and doctor Taslima Nasreen took on writing about women's oppression. In her poetry and newspaper columns she criticizes religion, traditions, and the oppressive cultures and customs that discriminate against women. According to Taslima, the religious scriptures are out of time, out of place. Instead of religious laws, she maintains, what is needed is a uniform civil code that accords women equality and justice. <P>

'''The Incident:''' Taslima Nasreen’s strong language and uncompromising attitude against male domination stirred many people, eliciting both love and hatred from her readers.  She is detested by Islamic fundamentalists who launched a campaign against her in 1990,staging street demonstrations and processions. They broke into newspaper offices that she used to regularly write from, sued her editors and publishers, and put her life in danger, a danger that only increased over time. She was publicly assaulted several times by fundamentalist mobs. No longer was she welcomed to any public places, not even to book fairs that she loved to visit. In 1993, a fundamentalist organization called Soldiers of Islam issued a fatwa against her, a price was set on her head because of her criticism of Islam, and she was confined to her house. The government confiscated her passport and asked her to quit writing if she hoped to keep her job as a medical doctor in Dhaka Medical College Hospital.  She was thus forced to quit her job and go into hiding. <P>
