Was Benazir Bhutto really a feminist? Her own niece Fatima Bhutto, a vocal critic of Benazir and the current Zardari administration, doesn’t think so.
Rumpus contributor Maddie Oatman recently spoke with Fatima, author of the controversial memoir Songs of Blood and Sword, about her conflicted perception of Benazir. They also discussed the potential for an Egypt-like uprising in Pakistan, and what the hell’s being done about the country’s flood victims (Fact: the floods in Pakistan last August were deemed worse than Haiti’s earthquake, the Asian Tsunami, and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake combined). You can read the interview and listen to the audio on MotherJones.com.
