French-Moroccan writer LeΓ―la Slimani on feminism & freedom
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
Award-winning writer LeΓ―la Slimani grew up in Morocco, where women were second-class citizens, but inside her home and with her family, she was free to speak her mind. Her mother, a doctor, pushed her to go to France to study. Slimani spoke with Terry Gross about her trilogy of novels inspired by her own French-Moroccan roots and her search for belonging. Her books include βIβll Take the Fireβ and βThe Perfect Nanny.βΒ
