Akimun Rahman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akimun Rahman (born 1959) is a Bangladeshi novelist, and an associate professor at Independent University, Bangladesh. She received her PhD in Bengali Literature from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh under the supervision of Humayun Azad.[1]
She began her authorial life as a critic and essayist. Her voluminous dissertation on Realism in Bangla Novels came out from Bangla Academy in 1993. In the year 1996 her Bibi Theke Begum, a research work picturing the evolution of Bengali Muslim women, created much controversy. Deeply attracted to the unrefined state of life found in the lower depths of society, she started writing fictions in the late 1990s. Akimun Rahman is the first novelist ever in Bangla language in whose writing the untold and unknown secrets of womanhood are getting tongue. She has authored so far several novels and a couple of short story books. [2]
Dr. Rahman carried out a research (Dec 2003 - Mar 2004) on A Comparative study of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Bengali Fairy Tales (sponsored by The International Youth Library, Munich, Germany). Recently she has been affiliated as a D-Lit Fellow with the School of Women's Studies at Jadavpur University, India. [1]
