THE RHYTHM OF MY SOUL: Pakistani women, in their own words...

This book is kaleidoscope of the lives of Pakistani women, living their daily lives . . .
"But I had to fi nd the voice to do so, in fact, I had not only to fi nd a voice in a literary sense. I had to learn to speak-first of all acknowledging that the Pakistani women's experiences had never been represented or acknowledged. We are not recognized for who we are. We needed a vocabulary to bring us out of the shadows."
"My choice of these particular women was the peculiar mixture of fragility and courage I sensed in them, and a willingness to share their experiences.
Initially, they felt they had nothing of any consequence to say. "I have lived a very ordinary life, nothing special that is worth mentioning, was their initial response, but as their stories began to unfold revealing a saga of silent metamorphosis; their journey towards self discovery had begun. They had a world to say and the world needed them to say it."
