VOICES IN THE BACK COURTYARD

Fifteen women writers come
together, weaving a spectrum of varied hues, each turning a page out of the
book of her life’s experience as a woman the result is a patchwork of
beautiful narratives. Right from Amrita Pritam of the 1950s, to Veena of the
21st century, this book traces a sinuous path of struggle, emotional turmoil,
unfulfilled dreams and social rejection, which these inspirational writers
turn into a source of strength. The stories are representatives of Punjab’s
social milieu, its myopic attitude towards women, along with its revelry and
celebration of life, which is a sustaining force for its people.
