Tahmina Begum: Womanhood, Gebunden

Klappentext

'I have always been fascinated by the lives of women.'

Step into the lives of three complicated and ordinary women, each on the brink of new paths and far-reaching choices. Existing between tradition and modernity, family and ambition, love and faith, each navigate the lives laid before them as South Asian Muslim women across the generations.

Exploring the different realities of Khaira, Noor and Moumita, we see their rich inner lives through their relationships - with family, friends and, most importantly, themselves. As they search for happiness, they begin to weigh the cost of what being a good woman means in today's world. Womanhood is a record of their lives, both the struggles and joys, and an insight into generational divides, unspoken duties and unmet needs.

Captured over eight years of interviews, Tahmina Begum writes a love letter to women, an honest map for anyone wanting to better understand their place in the world today.

As you discover what it is that shapes Khaira, Noor and Moumita, get ready to unpick the threads of your life, too.
