Book Summary
At a time when writing by and about women was rare and tentative, Chughtai
explored female sexuality with unparalleled frankness and examined the political
and social mores of her time. She wrote about the world that she knew, bringing
the idiom of the middle class to Urdu prose, and totally transformed the
complexion of Urdu fiction.
Lifting the Veil brings together Ismat Chughtai's fiction and non-fiction
writing. The twenty-one pieces in this selection are Chughtai at her best,
marked by her brilliant turn of phrase, scintillating dialogue and wry humour,
her characteristic irreverence, wit and eye for detail.
