Martha Gellhorn's extraordinary career as a reporter took her to the front lines of nearly every major international conflict, right from the Spanish Civil War to the conclusion of the Cold War; her combat reports are among the best of the century. Through her correspondence, we get to know the woman behind the frequently enigmatic journalist, Gellhorn, as she chronicles her turbulent marriage to Ernest Hemingway and her friendships with notable figures from the 20th century. Over four decades and numerous locales, including the highlands of East Africa, elegant dinner parties in London, and Depression-era America, Martha Gellhorn's novellas exhibit the same traits that have made her one of the most renowned journalists of our time: a remarkable sense of place, incredibly fast and precise prose, and an unwavering focus on the motivations behind her characters and actions. Above all, Martha Gellhorn investigates how individuals, both male and female, live quietly-and frequently with passion-amidst the historical turbulence.

Silence That Speaks: Short Stories by Indian Muslim Women
This ground-breaking anthology brings together 38 short stories culled from<br>over a century of writing by Muslim women from colonial and postcolonial<br>India. Selected from different Indian languages, it includes fascinating stories<br>by celebrated and emerging authors. It also excavates stories from early women's<br>journals such as Tehzeeb-e-Niswan, Saogat, and Indian Ladies' Magazine.<br>Written in different styles, modes, and forms, the stories deconstruct cultural<br>essentialism often involved in imagining Muslim womanhood and reflect upon<br>the diversity of imagined and lived experiences. They challenge sundry labels, <br>explore intersections of identities, debunk several myths, and demonstrate how<br>the authors navigate the world of voices and silences. Ranging from imaginary<br>geographies to topographies of Muslim ghettos, most of these powerful stories<br>narrate the spaces that Muslim women inhabit, and delineate their courage, <br>desires, freedom, struggle, and myriad subjectivities.
