&quot;Voices in Verses: Women&#39;s Poetry and Cultural Memory in Nineteenth Century India&quot; by Farhat Hasan explores the marginalized archive of North Indian Muslim women&#39;s poetry in Urdu and Persian from the late nineteenth century. The primary sources are two anthologies, Baharistan-i Naz and Tazkirat-i Nisa, which provide insight into the historical context of their production in late colonial India. The book challenges prevailing assumptions about Indian women&#39;s literary arts and offers a diverse array of women&#39;s voices, providing an alternative to British-influenced curricula. Hasan&#39;s analysis delves into the socio-economic and moral complexities of the poets&#39; lives, shedding light on their unique expressions of selfhood and interiority within established literary conventions.&quot; [Extracted from the article]
