Autorenporträt

This book was originally written from a compilation of recordings by Dr. Nilima Ibrahim [1921-2002]. She was a Bangladeshi academic, teaching at various women's schools in Dhaka and Calcutta, and finally at the University of Dhaka, where she was appointed lecturer in 1956, and professor of Bengali in 1972. She also served as the chairperson of the Bangla Academy, and as the Vice Chairperson of the World Women's Federation's South Asian Zone. The book is translated by Dr. Nusrat Rabbee, who is an American statistician working in biomedical research in the US. She is a frequent writer and discussant about the history of Bangladesh. Her interest stems from her family history: her father was a leading physician and progressive intellectual, Dr. Mohammed Fazle Rabbee, who was abducted and killed by Pakistani army-- hours before Bangladesh was liberated on 16th December 1971. Her mother, Dr. Jahan Ara Rabbee, was one of the first female physicians of Bangladesh, who helped re-build the country after the war.
