Purabi Basu

Purabi Basu is a Bangladeshi writer of short stories, pharmacologist/nutritionist and women's rights activist. Like other modern female writers such as Selina Hossain, Basu exhibits a "strong sense of resistance to the overpowering hegemony of paterfamilias", displayed in her Bangla-language stories such as Radha Will Not Cook Today (Arandhan) and Saleha's Desire.[1] Radha Will Not Cook Today, a feminist short story, has been cited as one of her finest works.[2]
