Tribute to a Quiet Warrior

Warriors for women's rights come in all shapes and sizes—some take to the streets, some write poetry, some fight court cases.

Of them, Simeen Mahmud was one of a kind for the passion and insight with which she researched women's empowerment, and in particular, women's work and labour force participation in Bangladesh.
