Re: Meri Pasand ki 10 Ghazlen / Nazmen (madz124)
There are a few other notable female names like Kishwar Naheed, Fehmida Riaz, Nosheen Gillani, etc. But I think Parveen was/is the most loved out of all because of the grace, eloquence and boldness in her style. She wrote mainly about love, and presented the emotions beautifully. This was different than male writers representing female emotions, despite not being able to fully grasp all the different cycles/roles/internal conflicts that our women go through in a lifetime. She protested against tradition and favoured a more progressive mindset. Other than that, her writing is simple and easily understood by the masses. When young girls can relate to her writing and are able to empathize with her, it becomes easier to visualize her as a role model.
And perhaps her tragic death also has a slight hand in gaining her the fame and legendary status she enjoys.
