The Birth of The Female Cell

'A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.'
~Lao Tzu~

After three years of hard work, I was happy to hold the book in my hands for the first time on 8 April 2011.

'The Female Cell' is my debut collection of short fictions and travel tales. It is published by Silverfish Books under the Malaysian Literature in English series. The book features 20 stories in two parts:
1)Part 1 – Loves, Lies and Lives
2)Part 2 – Travel Tales

What others say:
Rumaizah's stories are unpretentious and delightful. These short vignettes of human emotions and interations are perfect for that rainy afternoon, accompanied by tea and biscuits. These stories have light in them.
-- Dina Zaman, author of I am Muslim --

Whether she is describing the kaleidoscopic panorama of Kuala Lumpur, or the prickly solitude of a traveller in Turkey, Rumaizah demonstrates a generous capacity for observation. A quietly assured debut collection.
-- Alfian Sa'at, writer, poet and playright --


The Female Cell is available at Silverfish Books (Bangsar), MPH outlets nationwide, Times, Kinokuniya KLCC and other major bookstores.
