A new female voice in Urdu writing, Dr. Saima Iram holds her own with stories that are hard-hitting and reflective of contemporary social realities. She acquired her PhD from GCU Lahore and she is currently works as a professor in its Urdu Department.

Language of her work is the language of streets and not the high brow Persianized Urdu. Since she lives and works in Lahore, her mix of languages includes Punjabi words in her writing. 

When S.A. Bukhari started GCU’s Urdu department back in 1940’s that’s what they hoped for: a student later becoming teacher there and choosing to produce literature.

There are many female literary giants in Urdu fiction: Ismat Chughtai, Qurratulain Hyder, Hijab Imtiaz Ali, Khadija Mastoor, Hajra Masroor, Khalida Husain and Jeelani Bano, to name a few. However, there are very few women in the recent crop of fiction writers.
