Nasrin was born in 1962 in the town of MymenSingh of Bangladesh. Her father Rajib Ali was a physician.
In her early career she was a gynecologist by profession. While practising medicine she often encountered cases where raped and early aborting girls came, often she heard wives crying in despair for giving birth to girl child. This gender inequality provoked and created zeal to make herself an author.
