French term

engagée

Non-PRO French to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Hi,

I'm unsure about the term 'engagée' here:

Dans cet ouvrage, Ma Thanegi, écrivain myanmaraise engagée, aborde le quotidien des Myanmarais et nous fait également prendre conscience de la situation dans laquelle le pays se trouve.

Thanks

He could be involved in politics, his art, etc. His opponents could

militant/activist

"Militant" I think is a term often used. Or "activist", used as an adjective.

mil-i-tant (mil'i tuhnt) adj.
1. vigorously active, aggressive, and often combative, esp. in support of a cause: militant reformers.
2. engaged in warfare; fighting.
n.
3. a militant person.
4. a person engaged in combat.

Also "involved" - as in "impliquée" (committed to the cause), but this sounds rather vaguely and lacking the edge, the punch.
Example sentence:

activist

Activist: a person who works energetically to achieve political or social goals.

An activist can be someone who inspires actions, rather than committing them him or herself.
