Overview

Women's literature is literature written by women. It is a relatively modern concept dating back to approximately the middle of the twentieth century, when women were given the opportunity to write and express in literature some of their feelings and visions. This means that there was a historical blackout on the status and role of women, which made them socially inferior and characterized by weakness and helplessness. Feminist consciousness has now become a movement or school-of-thought popular among the writers of modern sensibility. The whole movement of feminism, feminist theory and criticism has been the rediscovery of a hidden tradition of women's writing and the rediscovery and republication of a number of novels and other works by women. Educated women in the sub-continent are also fully aware of their rights and the problems faced by them. Urdu literature is becoming richer by women's writings and enjoys a certain amount of freedom of expression in this segregated society.
