Learning from Women for Women

Tahera Aftab

Chapter 13 in A Journey into Women’s Studies, 2014, pp 231-254 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Rekha Pande’s invitation to join her and other women from around the globe to share my travails and triumphs reminded me of Safi Lucknawi’s (d. 1950) Urdu couplet: Ghazal usne chheri, mujhe saz dena, Zara umre rafta ko awaz dena. With profound apologies to Safi, these soul-touching words rendered into English would convey this meaning: “She/he has begun singing the ode, let me have the instrument — would someone recall the years gone by, please.”
