It explores how Muslim women have contributed to the growth and development of genre fiction in South Asia, and brings into focus diverse genres including speculative, horror, young-adult, romance, graphic, dystopian amongst others, from the early 20th century to the present. The book debunks myths about stereotypical representations of South Asian Muslim women, and critically explores how they have located their sensibilities, body, religious/secular identities, emotions, and history, and have created a space of their own. It discusses themes such as Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and Qurratulain Hyder's writings as genre fiction, Hijab Imtiaz Ali's romance fiction, early women Urdu novelists, Bangladeshi women authors, and the deployment of graphic stereotypes. A volume full of remarkable discoveries for the field of genre fiction, both in South Asia and for the wider world, this book in the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series, will be useful for scholars and researchers of English literary studies, South Asian literature, cultural studies, history, Islamic feminism, religious studies, gender and sexuality, sociology, translation studies, and comparative literatures"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Indic fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a South Asian fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z South Asia. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 7 $a Indic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970132 650 7 $a Indic fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970134 650 7 $a South Asian fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202586 650 7 $a Women and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177093 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 651 7 $a South Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244520 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $t Sultana's sisters $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003002062 $w (DLC) 2021020117 700 1 $a Qadeer, Haris, $e editor. 700 1 $a Arafath, P.
