Reseña del libro "Bibi’S Room: Hyderabadi Women and Twentieth-Century Urdu Prose (en Inglés)"

In addition to the general neglect of women writers, Urdu literary historiography in both English and Urdu has historically privileged north Indian and Pakistani writers while overlooking the many Urdus south of Bombay and Bhopal. Next to no work exists in English on the Urdu writers of Hyderabad, and only a handful of texts have been translated into English--an astonishing neglect, considering their contribution to the study of gender, political cultures, and regional histories. Bibi's Room studies the lives and work of three women writers from Hyderabad who wrote in Urdu: Zeenath Sajida, Najma Nikhat, and Jeelani Bano. It addresses the absence of scholarship on Hyderabadi women writers in three ways: representative translations; short, nuanced biographies; and critical analyses of their oeuvres--all framed against twentieth-century Hyderabadi history, politics, culture, and society.
