Farida Akhter
Seeds of Movements is a compilation of writing on women's issues in Bangladesh. Farida Akhter is an activist in the movement and also engaged in various grassroots actions led by rural women. Articles reflect various dimensions of women's issues, from politics to violence against women including trafficking in women. Her writings are valued for her critique of women's movements that have missed issues of biodiversity-based agriculture, seed preservation, hand-loom weaving, ready-made garment workers issues and other deeper grounds where women's questions should be searched beyond the common assumptions of urban middle class and the prevalent construction of 'woman.'
