Description

Bengali Women , a compilation of stories by ‘Manto’ is unusual, as each one of the stories depicts the life and character of revolutionary women, who were exploited and used by men for their individual satisfaction. Each story in this collection is a complete novel in itself, with a different theme, but with the focus remaining centred on the women.
