Appreciation of poetesses in Tazkara Masarat Afza
تلخیص
"Tazkra (Autobiographical Accounts, Memoir) is such a literary
form which presents the autobiography of the poets as well as
their poetry. It is the progressive form of Diary. The art of Tazkra
writing in Urdu was borrowed from Persian. Basically the art of
Tazkra writing was started in the reign of Mir Taqi Mir and
Khawaja Mir Dard. To analyse the educational, literary, ethical
and civilized atmosphere of any society in a better way, it is
necessary to assess the conditions and thought patterns of half
of its population (females). Historians and Tazkra writers have
written the autobiography and poetry of the male poets diligently
but the female poetesses are almsot neglected or given partially
importance. Some Tazkra writers have given special coverage to
these poetesses. Abu-al-Hassan Ameer-ud-Din Ahmad Amrullah
Abadi is such a writer who wrote "Tazkara Musarrat Afza" in
which he assessed some poetesses.”
