  • Writer, critic and feminist activist P. Geetha was presented with the first K. Saraswathi Amma Award, instituted by WINGS (Women’s Integration and Growth Through Sports) Kerala, for feminist studies.
  • Her work Aan Thachukal (male creations) about M.T. Vasudevan Nair’s scripts won the award.
  • It’s a poetic justice that an award in the name of Saraswathi Amma, a writer who was largely sidelined by the mainstream patriarchal literary world during her time, has been given to Ms. Geetha, who has been subjected to many brickbats for her strong stands, especially in issue related to gender justice.
