  • ... that the English translation of the novel Zameen is titled A Promised Land?
    Source: "A Promised Land, translated by Daisy Rockwell ... Khadija Mastur's posthumous novel Zameen ..." [1]
    • ALT1: ... that the Urdu novel Zameen provides a woman-centric account of Pakistan's independence?
      Source: "Its value is historical as much as literary, as a woman-centric account of Partition and its aftermath ..." [2]

A hook about the novel being described as "a political allegory and a gynocentric historical account of Pakistan's independence" could work, the issue is that the source cited does not actually use the term "gynocentric". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: The source uses the word 'woman-centric', so 'gynocentric' is OK. --Gazal world (talk) 22:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
With my unfamiliarity with the word I think it would be a good idea to stick with simply "woman-centric", simply because it's the word that is used in the source. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:50, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Doing... New, long enough, well cited, neutral, no copyvio detected. ALT0 is generic so I find ALT1 better. Hook cited (I changed gynocentric to Women-centric in article to reflect the hook). No images. -Nizil (talk) 07:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
