Atiya Fyzee Rahamin: An intellectual and literary biography (in Urdu) by
Waseem Raza, PhD
Atiya Fyzee Rahamin (1877-1967) was a multi-talented lady from the Indian Subcontinent. She was born in Istanbul and raised in colonial Bombay was an extraordinary woman of her time.
She was one of the first elite Indian Muslim women to receive a modern education, appear in public unveiled and participate in women's organizations.
Noted for her intellectualism, she was a cultural icon - not least on account of her friendships with two of South Asia’s prominent Muslim intellectuals Maulana Shibli Numani and Allama Iqbal.
Her partnership with her husband, artist and writer Samuel Rahamin also earned the couple international acclaim in fields of music, dance, visual arts, theatre, and literature.
This book will appeal to scholars and students interested in travel narratives, gender studies, Urdu literature as well as modern history of India and Pakistan.
Paperback 6 by 9 in, 260 pages.
