Anam emerges as a native writer from the shell of her diasporic identity while dealing with the suffering of Bangladeshi people in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War against Pakistan turning three million people dead, thirty thousand women brutally raped and millions others migrated.
Such traditional representation of the exploitation of women’s body in history has been deconstructed by Bangladeshi diasporic novelist Tahmima Anam in her debut novel A Golden Age (2007).
Women had always been portrayed as exploited figures in the war history where the brutality of war and the suffering of nation are measured with the number of victimised and raped women of that particular nation.
