ISMAT CHUGTAI
ISMAT CHUGTAI
(1915-1991), one of Urdu's boldest and most
outspoken women writers, played an important
role in the development of the modern Urdu short
story as we know it today. Not only did she make
strides in the areas of style and technique,
she also led her female contemporaries on a
remarkable journey of self-awareness and undaunted
creative expression. Women Unlimited and Kali for
Women pioneered the translation of much of
Chugtai's work in English, making available her
most significant writings for the first time.
Among these are
My Friend, My Enemy: Essays, Reminiscences,
Portraits
(Kali for Women, 2001),
A Chugtai Collection
[which includes "The Quilt and Other Stories",
"The Heart Breaks Free" and "The Wild One"
(Women Unlimited, 2003),
The Crooked Line
(Women Unlimited, 2003) and
A Very strange Man
(Women Unlimited, forthcoming).
