Rashid Jahan (25 August 1905 – 29 July 1952) was an Indian writer and medical doctor known for her Urdu literature and trenchant social commentaries. She wrote short stories and plays and contributed to ''Angarey'' (1932), a collection of unconventional short stories written in collaboration with Sajjad Zaheer, Ahmed Ali, and Mahmuduz Zafar.

Jahan was an active member of the Progressive Writers' Movement and the Indian People's Theatre Association. She has been called one of the first ever feminists and was a leading Indian communist. These two schools of thought animated Jahan's life and literary output. Provided by Wikipedia
