About this event

About the Programme

Hear from the author Mary Yap as she offers insight into the common experiences of girls and women in Malaysia and Singapore over the last 75 years through this intimate collection of personal stories.

From the convent sisters in Malacca who educated her and fellow classmates about sex, to grappling with issues of life and death, and even recalling memories of the unforgettable men in her life, this book captures the richness of Mary’s experiences. Look forward to hearing more about the interesting characters she has met over the years in this heartfelt series of short stories. 

About the Author

Yap Swi Neo, Mary is the author of You Might Want to Marry My Husband: Reflections from Life. The book is a collection of fifteen short stories exploring her journey through womanhood in Malaysia and Singapore.

Mary was born and raised in Malacca, Malaysia, and now lives in Singapore. She is a retired educator with over 40 years of teaching in schools in Malaysia and institutes of higher education in Singapore. She enjoys recapturing her youth in stories that bring to life old Malaysia and Singapore and the struggles of women in society, which can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
