Pinar Selek

Pinar Selek is a sociologist, feminist and anti-militarist activist. With a particular interest in oppressed and marginalised groups, she fell victim to the repression suffered by intellectuals in Turkey, and was imprisoned in 1998. Since then, she has been acquitted four times, but the Turkish government insists on appealing, so the trial has been going on for 25 years. She lives in France, where she has published several books, including fiction, short stories, essays and articles. Azucena ou Les fourmis zinzines, her latest novel (Des femmes, 2022), has been published in Turkey and Italy. Éditions des Femmes has also published her latest essay, Le Chaudron militaire turc, un exemple de production de la violence masculine in 2023.
