Kunzang Choden (Dzongkha : ཨམ་ཀུན་བཟང་ཆོས་སྒྲོན་གྱི་སྐོར། ; born 1952)[1] Bhutanese writer. She is the first Bhutanese woman to write a novel in English.
Choden was born in Bumthang District . Her parents were feudal landlords. At the age of nine, her father sent her to school in India, where she learned English.[2] Psychology from Indraprastha College in Delhi and a BA in Sociology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln . She has worked for the United Nations Development Program in Bhutan. She and her Swiss husband currently live in Thimphu .[3]
The Circle of Karma , published by Zubaan Publishers Pvt. Ltd in 2005, is her first novel. It takes place in the 1950s, the initial period of imperially regulated modernization in Bhutan. The main character, a Bhutanese woman and road-builder by occupation, is forced to deal both with the traditional, restrictive gender roles of pre-modern Bhutan and the new kinds of sexism developing as men gain economic freedom.[4]
In 2012, Choden and her family founded the publishing house, Riyang Books, in Thimphu.[5] [6]
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic , Choden's film-maker daughter, Dechen Roder , made video recordings of her mother reading her stories and posted them to YouTube for children stuck at home during the lockdown.[7]
