Anbar Otin

Anbar Otin was born in 1870 in Kokand, into a family of poor craftsmen: her father, Farmonqul, was the nephew of the poet Uvaysiy, her mother, Ashurbibi, the daughter of a craftsman. From childhood she studied at the school of Dilshod otin, who wrote under the name Barno and introduced her to the classics. She wrote in Uzbek and Tajik, regarded Navoi as her first master and followed Uvaysiy. A fall down a staircase injured her legs and left her bedridden for most of her life. In 1905, she gathered forty-eight of her poems.
