Feminism has been a prominent literary idea in international literature, addressing women's identities and a range of challenges on many levels. In Urdu, 'Tanisiat' (feminism) has also created a distinct identity in prose and poetry that is now irreversible, much like other literary movements, trends, and ideologies. In Urdu literature, 'Tanisiat' has already reached a point where, because of its language and thought patterns, no literary history can be deemed complete without including women's writing. Compiled by Farha Andaleeb, "Dhanak Rang" is an anthology of five short stories written by well-known female Urdu writers: Razia Sajjad Zaheer, Khadija Mastoor, Hajra Masroor, Jeelani Bano and Wajida Tabassum.

With its focus on women's identities and a range of challenges at different levels, feminism has become a prominent literary philosophy in world literature.

A True Crime anthology looking back at some of the more obscure serial killers in history. Gary Charles Evans was a confessed serial killer who operated out of New York and Florida, befriending the Son of Sam. He would target antique stores and became infamous for his numerous escapes from custody. John Reginald Christie was one of the busiest serial killers. He murdered at least six women including his wife-and some believe this number is higher, as well as a baby-before being arrested, convicted, and hanged. He lured women to his flat under the guise of assisting them with some medical procedure such as abortion and strangled and raped them; oftentimes while they were unconscious or dead, thus giving rise to allegations that he was a necrophiliac.

An anthology of True Crime A look back at some of the most depraved serial killers in history...The 1970s were a carefree time in the history of the United States. Even though the love and peace of the previous decade were over, people still hitchhiked and accepted rides from helpful strangers. But during the summer of 1979, two depraved criminals terrorized the Los Angeles area by targeting and kidnapping young teenage girls. Their victims were mostly regarded as runaways, so the authorities noticed their crimes months after they were committed. With the discovery of their fifth and final victim, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris got the nickname The Toolbox Killers because they used common instruments found in any household in order to inflict horrific pain to the objects of their desire.

AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MAURA MURRAY The case of Maura Murray's disappearance is one that has left police and conspiracy theorists baffled for more than a decade. Her sudden disappearance is one that makes very little sense and the available information regarding who she is as a person and her motive behind her attempt to leave town prior to vanishing isn't easy to wrap our brains around. Maura has been missing since February 9, 2004. From the time of her disappearance, there have been no credible sightings of Maura. The last person to see her alive, a passing motorist, noticed her oddly calm demeanor following a car crash, but she was gone by the time the police arrived on the scene. Her family is devastated that they haven't gotten closure, but is also skeptical that she could still be alive. Laurie and Fred, Maura's mother and father, have had nothing to add regarding their daughter's disappearance, and have no idea what thought pushed her into taking some personal belongings, withdrawing over $200 in cash, and attempting to leave town under the guise of "grieving over a death in the family." To get an understanding of the case, it's important to understand who Maura is, what she did and said in the days prior to her disappearance, and her strange behavior moments before vanishing into thin air. BETHANY DECKER - Nothing about Bethany seemed out of the ordinary...Until she disappeared JOYCE CHIANG - Joyce was an American attorney who worked for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. She had been missing for three months, and now, her badly decomposed body was being dragged from the Potomac River. JODI HUISENTRUIT - Jodi Sue Huisentruit was a news anchor for KIMT, a station based in Mason City, Iowa. On June 27th, 1995, she called the station and told her co-worker that she was on her way to work after she overslept. It would be the last time anyone heard from her. PATRICIA MEEHAN - The story of Patricia Meehan is a very strange and puzzling one. She seemingly disappeared into the night with little reason. The case has remained unsolved since 1989. With few witnesses, the full events are sketchy at best. KELSIE SCHELLING - The disappearance of Kelsie Schelling is one of the biggest mysteries in Colorado. This young pregnant woman was last seen in February of 2013 and the case is still open to this day. NATALIE HOLLOWAY - The vacationing teen disappeared in Aruba and has not been seen since. JENNIFER KESSE - A beautiful Florida woman who disappeared in the parking lot of her apartment building.

an anthology of true crime These petite women didn't let their small nature deter them from committing murder and mayhem across the country. Erin Caffey - The clock on the wall of the Caffey house showed 3.55am - the time that the flames had engulfed the Texan cabin which had been home to Terry Caffey, 41, his 37-year-old wife, Penny, and their three children - 16-year-old Erin, Matthew, 13, and Tyler, who was 8. But it wasn't the fire which had claimed the lives of Terry's family... It was Erin Caffey Kristina Fetters - Kristina Fetters was the youngest woman in the state of Iowa to get sentenced to life in prison without parole after she murdered her great-aunt. But eighteen years later she would be re-sentenced after the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory life sentences for minors was unconstitutional. Kristina would later be released to a hospice center as she developed breast cancer in prison. But what happened that fateful night of October 25th, 1994? Kristina was only fourteen years old, five-feet tall and barely one hundred pounds. Yet she committed one of the most brutal assaults in the history of her Iowa town. This is what transpired in her life before and after she committed a brutal murder of her loving aunt.

A True Crime collection of registered nurses who chose murder over caregiving...Not too far from the coast of the east Auckland suburb of Orakei lies Paritai Drive, one of the most coveted streets in New Zealand. A long, winding street lined with more than one hundred houses worth millions of dollars, it is where you will find some high-profile residents, from business moguls to reality TV stars.

It was behind the closed door of one of these very houses that an elderly couple would meet an unfortunate and untimely end at the hands of a hired caregiver...Stephanie Gouldstone

Instead of watching the Chicago White Sox play in Comiskey Park as he had planned, Matthew Morrison is spending the summer of 1944 in Omaha, Texas, with his grandparents. What could be worse?

Throw in two brothers who are looking for trouble, a visit from Texas Rangers, a tornado, and a run-in with rustlers, and Matt's summer is well on the way to being more exciting than a baseball game in the park.
