The Contribution of Sindhi Female Writers in Autobiographic Literature: A Study
تلخیص
Autobiographies and biographies have, always been, extremely
important ingredients of Sindhi literature. Traditionally, male Sindhi
authors have dominated this field, since women writers often find
it hard to discuss their lives openly, especially their romantic or
sexual experiences, for fear of being vilified by the society and
their families. Hence, autobiographies and biographies of women
in Sindhi literature remain few and far between. This article
attempts to analyze those few autobiographies and biographies to
look into their vivid portrayal of sociopolitical climate of their times.
This article, particularly, focuses on Popti Hiranandani's "Muhinji
Zindagi Ja Sona Rupa Warq" (Golden & Silvery Leaves of My
Life), Rita Shahani's "Bipahri Ja Ba Pal" (Couple of Moments of
Noon), Shams Abassi's "Galhyun Payt Waran Mai" (Few
Suppressed Thoughts), Akhtar Baloch's "Qadeyani's Ji Diary" (A
Female Prisoner's Diary), and Fatima Sheikh's "Shekhiyani Ji
Dairy" (Sheikhiyani’s Diary) among others.
