One day the girl will return.
Intervals in time, interplay of feelings : empowerment as process.
Through the looking glass of poetry : grounding metaphor and illuminating women's history.
"Pink in the black border" : feminism, nationalism, and Islamic revitalization.
"One day the girl will return" : compassion as social praxis.
Visionary activism : religion, metaphor, and feminist history.
Bodies That Remember explores the lives and works of four of the most recognized Hindu and Urdu female poets of the twentieth century. In contrast to much of the South Asian literary criticism and postcolonial theory that concentrates on the Indo-English novel, Anantharam highlights the poetry of these vernacular writers, connecting their critical voices with nationalist and religious revitalization movements in India and Pakistan.
