Her book, The Only Sex, was shortlisted for the August Prize in 2012. Her writing has appeared in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, and British publications — one of her most acclaimed texts won her a bold compliment from Ed Miliband in person.
In 2013 she was awarded 'Lagercrantzen', a prestigous award sponsored by Dagens Nyheter, for writing in ”a bold and personal style that entices and challenges the reader with the audacity and intimacy of her intellectual landscape.”
Marçal was discovered by a Swedish editor through a blog she wrote while studying at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She started writing for Swedish national newspapers at the age of 22 and published her first book, Rape and Romance when she was 25. After working for the centre-left think tank Arenagruppen, she joined Aftonbladet in 2009. The Only Sex is her second book and has been described as a ”feminist Freakonomics”.
Marçal has been invited to speak about economics and politics in Barcelona, Berlin, London, Saint Petersburg, Stockholm, Oslo, and Copenhagen. She lives in London.lihat lebih sedikit
