Abstract
By the end of Nineteenth Century there was no well renowned female writer in
the world of Urdu Literature, only few female writers were in the picture, but not
active enough to be counted as an asset for the literature. However, at the
beginning of the Twentieth Century, female writers became active, they stared
their literary life by writing novels in Urdu. Generally the nature of women
writing was social and domestic. From the beginning of progressive movement,
signs of change also appeared in the Urdu Literature and women Authors were
also affected by this change. The difference between pure literature and popular
literature became very clear by the mid of Twentieth century. Popular literature
is growing fast in Urdu since 1950 and women have played an effective/ vital
role in the promotion of this popular literature. The objectives of my study are to
highlight the role of female writers in the promotion/ development of popular
literature, to analyse the trends developed by popular literature and to make a
critical analysis of changes being faced by popular literature between the
twentieth and twenty first centuries. Furthermore, I also try to locate the basic
factors involved in the development of popular literature in Urdu.
