Event Description
The inaugural award for women writers of fiction was announced in October 2021 and the shortlist of the fiction novels for the prize is here.
The prize announcement came after seven years of Women Writers Fest organised by SheThePeople, putting the spotlight on literary contributions of women writers, and that is exactly what the award aims to do too. Even though women have been writing literature for centuries, they have been often overlooked by the male-populated literary world. The Women Writer’s Prize recognises the gap when it comes to awarding works of men and women in the field and makes an effort to provide an exclusive focus on women writers and only women writers.
The shortlisted writers — Translator of Ambai’s A Red-necked Green Bird – GJV Prasad, Sarah Joseph (Budhini) with translator Sangeetha Sreenivasan, Selma Carvalho (Sisterhood of Swans), Tarana Husain Khan (The Begum and the Dastan) and Krupa Ge (What We Know About Her) — talk about their books to prize curator Shinie Antony.
Part of the WorldLit series in collaboration with Bangalore Literature Festival
