[73] Samira Ahmed, author of Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know

“For too long our stories haven’t been written and these women, who have accomplished so many things that we’ll never know, were relegated to the shadows.” – Samira Ahmed

Samira Ahmed is the New York Times bestselling author of Love, Hate & Other Filters, Internment and Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know. She was born in Bombay, India and grew up in the suburbs of Chicago in a house that smelled like fried onions, cardamom and potpourri. A graduate of the University of Chicago, she’s lived in Chicago, New York, and Kauai where she spent a year searching for the perfect mango.

Renee Powers founded Feminist Book Club in 2018 to provide a space for intersectional feminists to learn, grow, and connect. When not reading or running the biz, you can find her drinking coffee and trying unsuccessfully to teach her retired racing greyhound how to fetch. Favorite genres: feminist thrillers, contemporary literary fiction, short stories, and anything that might be described as "irreverent"
