Women Dreaming by Salma

5.0

Women, Dreaming is the translation of her Tamil novel Manaamiyangal, a story of three generations of Muslim women in rural Tamil Nadu who navigate their daily lives amidst oppression from men in the name of faith and honour. This is the story of three generations of women. Subaida, Asiya and Amina who have been beaten down by their circumstances and hence have grown accustomed to an oppression that is far beyond their scope of redemption. Parveen and Mehar who still have a spark of fight left in them. Sajida who is fighting for a future that she is consistently being told is beyond her scope of dreaming. It is the reflection of a society that sows the seed of discontentment in all genders because of the stereotypes we are forced to conform with.
