Ninotchka Rosca blogs and I find out about it on Women’s Day. Ain’t that a cute coincidence?
From Wikipedia:
Ninotchka Rosca is a Filipina feminist, author, and human rights activist. She is also co-founder of the Gabriela Network and was a political prisoner under the dictatorial government of Ferdinand Marcos.
Here’s the link to Lily Pad, where she writes about women, justice, and everything in between.
If you’re lucky enough to come by her books, you better grab them at once and not let go. And then contact me ASAP and have me borrow them, as I am never lucky and the only Ninotchka book I’ve ever come across is the satirical Twice Blessed, reading which is how Ms. Rosca got to be one of my favorite writers. I tried looking for her other novels but they’re just so hard to come by. I think now maybe it’s because they were banned by the Marcoses.
Go on, go on. Click, read, and learn.
