  <about><![CDATA[Slavenka Drakulić is a noted Croatian writer and publicist who currently lives in Sweden. 
Slavenka Drakulić was born in Rijeka, Croatia, (in what was then socialist Yugoslavia). She graduated in comparative literature and sociology from the University in Zagreb in 1976. From 1982 to 1992 she was a staff writer for the Start bi-weekly newspaper and news weekly Danas (both in Zagreb), writing mainly on feminist issues.

Her noted recent works relate to the Yugoslav wars. As If I Am Not There is about crimes against women in the Bosnian War, while They Would Never Hurt a Fly is a book in which she also analyzed her experience overseeing the proceedings and the inmates of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at The Hague. Both books touch on the same issues that caused her wartime emigration from the home country. She also wrote &quot;How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed&quot; which is the non-fiction account of Drakulic's life under communism.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Rijeka</hometown>  <born_at>01/01/1949</born_at>
