- Ḥussayn al-Maḥrūs (?, Bahrain)–Maryam (‘Miriam’, 2013). This biography of women whose names have been lost centers on the lives of the ‘Maryams’. The novel is set in the Manama neighborhood of al-Naʿīm, covering a timespan from the 1960s to 1980s, when women were known for their manual labor, such as sewing, alongside their identities as mothers, sisters, and wives. Through their narratives, the novel reflects on the social and political changes in Bahrain (also in S: Social Issues and Social Change: Between Tradition and Modernity: Women and Traditional societies).
