Vă mulțumesc că ați fost alături de noi la Perfect Contemporan în 2023, fără voi și invitații minunați pe care i-am avut, nu aș fi reușit să fac 18 episoade perfect contemporane. Vreau să vă aduc și în 2024 dialoguri interesante cu autori contemporani și poate, cine știe, să vă aduc și un strop de poezie în viață. Discuția mea de azi cu poeta Cristina Alexandrescu a fost foarte prietenoasă și relaxată, ne-am cunoscut la FILIT și mi se pare că aceasta este într-un fel o prelungire a întâlnirii noastre. Am vorbit despre sexism și corpul femeii, despre poezia politică și ceea ce punem în general în poezie. Vă invit să ascultați și anul acesta dialoguri perfect contemporane, în care nimic nu e perfect, dar totul e mai mult sau mai puțin contemporan. Episodul 40 și primul în 2024.

Imagine discovering surprisingly progressive stories from the 19th century, all written by your grandmother!
In this episode, we'll introduce you to Ranjana Kaul and her passionate endeavour to do justice to her grandmother's legacy — a trailblazing woman, who not only wrote but also fervently fought for women's rights.
Join your host, Michelle, as she delves deep into the captivating accounts of how Ranjana serendipitously unearthed the stories and accounts of her grandmother. Laxmibai Abhyankar wrote short stories in Marathi, and Kaul, her granddaughter, painstakingly translated and moulded her work into an English collection called "Stepmother and Other Stories".
The collection highlights archaic customs and regressive beliefs, such as the mistreatment of widows and the denial of education to women.
