Krátky popis
'Gloriously provocative... female sexuality within a patriarchal
world is Chughtai's central concern' Kamila Shamsie, from the
introduction Lifting the Veil is a bold and irreverent collection
of writing from India's most controversial feminist writer. These
stories celebrate life in all its complexities: from a woman who
refuses marriage to a man she loves to preserve her freedom, to a
Hindu and a Muslim teenager pulled apart by societal pressures, to
eye-opening personal accounts of the charges of obscenity the
author faced in court for stories found in this book. Wickedly
funny and unflinchingly honest, Lifting the Veil explores the power
of female sexuality while slyly mocking the subtle tyrannies of
middle-class life. In 1940s India, an unlikely setting for female
rebellion, Ismat Chughtai was a rare and radical storyteller born
years ahead of her time. 'Ismat Chughtai is known for her
iconoclastic, feminist writings which explored the inner workings
of women's lives' Huffington Post
