Joanne Lim Yi-Jen
Writing is Singaporean Joanne Lim's second act after leaving a career in luxury cosmetics to become a stay-at-home parent to her two young daughters. With 10 of her formative years spent in an all-girls school, a sociology degree specialising in women's studies, and a decade of experience in marketing luxury cosmetics, it is unsurprising that Joanne's prose centers around feminine identities, particularly the conflicts and ambivalence of motherhood arising from cultural and class divides.
