Translated from the original anthology in Bengali. Throwing light
on the work and lives of unknown or forgotten Muslim women writers
of pre-Independence Bengal, when the state was not yet partitioned
between India and East Pakistan (today's Bangladesh), in 1947, this
anthology is like a rediscovery of their lives. First published in
Bengali as Zenana Mehfil: Bangali Musalman Lekhikader Nirbachita
Rachana, 1904-38, it compiles, for the first time, eleven Bengali
Muslim women's writings: essays, short stories, poetry, a novel and
some correspondence, each introduced and discussed separately. This
anthology also gives a glimpse of their lives that were not always
confined within the household. The writers include Akhtar Mahal,
Sayyada Khatun and M. Fatema Khanum, and other much more familiar
names like Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and Shamsundar Mahmud. Among the
immensely valuable interviews are those of Mohammed Nasiruddin, who
devoted his life to the cause of Bengali Muslim women's
emancipation, his daughter Nurjehan Begum, the poet Sufia Kamal,
the writer Hameeda Khanam and Syed Mustafa Siraj, the celebrated
Bengali novelist who witnessed the social changes that were to
alter the Bengali Muslim world.
