How does she navigate different cultures and religions, and patriarchal society? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaughter of the Agunmukha\u003c\/em\u003e is the riveting personal history of Noorjahan Bose, born in 1938 in present-day Bangladesh to a Muslim farming family, near the mouth of the ferocious River Agunmukha--Fire Mouth River. Abused by male relatives and raised by a mother who was herself married at just 7 years old, Noorjahan struggled for her education and autonomy against the painful backdrop of partition, and under the joyful, creative care of her mother. Mentored by local activists, she found her way into the progressive movements that would one day take her around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom her husband's death when she was only 18 and pregnant, to the devastating cyclones threatening her family's home and livelihood, Noorjahan's personal life has not been easy. Yet her courage shines through the pages of her memoir, whether she is agitating for Bangla language rights, enduring Bangladesh's liberation war, or marrying outside her family's faith. This moving, gripping book tells a powerful story of trauma, loss, resilience and empowerment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Noorjahan Bose, Rebecca Whittington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180526060X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805260608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.85w x 1.19d","brand":"Noorjahan Bose","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311517233407,"sku":"9781805260608","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64c85b4f-50b8-4ccc-b714-61afaebbc76b.jpg?v=1695723203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daughter-of-the-agunmukha-noorjahan-bose-9781805260608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
