Review
نیا اسلوب، نئی عورت از بشریٰ اقبال - Daastan
کتاب کا اسلوبِ بیان سادہ اوردلکش ہے۔ کتاب بنیادی طور پر چار حصوں میں تقسیم ہے جس کے پہلے حصے میں فورم اور سائیٹ سیورز کا تعارف اور نابینااور معذورقلم کار خواتین کا انٹرویو درج ہے۔ادب سے تعلق رکھنے والی مختلف عورتوں کے بارے میں پڑھ کر آپ جانیں گے کہ انھوں نے اپنی زندگی میں کس قدر مشکلات کا سامنا کیا مگر انھوں نے ہار نہیں مانی اور محنت اور لگن کے ساتھ اپنے کام کو جاری رکھا۔دوسرے حصے میں محترمہ کشور ناہید کے انٹرویوکے ساتھ ساتھ مسلم ثانیثیت اور نسائی ادب اور تنقید شامل ہے۔
