Divas of Deccan
19.12.2013
It
requires evolved women to tell the story of other extra-ordinary women. Nalini
Shiv Kumar and Rema Mahalingam heading departments of History and English at The
Centre for Women's Studies at St. Ann's College for Women (It is a University
Grants Commission funded research organization), Mehdipatnam, Hyderabad, have
captured the dazzling women in Southern cinema in a passionate and an
insightful book titled Divas of Deccan:
An Ode to the Women of Hyderabad. After The
Iconic Unforgettable Women of South Indian Cinema profiling 35 classic heroines
from 1931-2000 published in 2010 the second book is a treasure and adds
feathers in the caps of not just Shivkumar and Mahalingam but CWSS that is
sensitized in raising awareness on women issues. A must buy for cinema buffs
and women.
