About the Book

A matchless volume of non-fiction writing by women from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh on the Partition of India, No Woman’s Land is an unusual mix of memoirs, interviews, reminiscences and reflective essays by Ismat Chughtai, Sara Suleri, Anis Kidwai, Phulrenu Guha, Meghna Guhathakurta, and many others. Through their writings these women articulate what Partition means to them; and how they define themselves—Hindus? Muslims? Indians? Pakistanis? Bengalis? All of these or none?
