About the Book

Rashid Jahan blazed like a meteor in the progressive firmament of pre-and post-Independence India. In a remarkably perceptive, richly detailed account of this pioneering woman, Rakhshanda Jalil offers readers an unusual document: a warm and informed biography—based on archival material, extensive interviews and critical commentaries—together with fine translations of Rashid Jahan's best known stories and plays.
