V. Geetha is an Indian feminist activist who writes on issues related to caste, gender, education and civil rights.[1][2] She operates from Madras (now known as Chennai) and has carried out research on the nature and proliferation of NGOs operating in Tamil Nadu. She has set up the federation of women's groups in the state and is also the editorial director at Tara Books.[3][1] Other than this, she has translated two of Perumal Murugan's novels into English.[4] Based on her research, she has observed that "Violence as an experience seemed to me to represent a point of intersection of trajectories of hurt, touch, love, fear, hunger and shame. It seemed to inhere as much in the grime of every day life, in habitual tone, gesture and touch, as it did in the particular and determined act of violence."[5]
