The era of Tazkira writing of female Urdu poets formally starts during the end of the nineteenth century, appromixately after two centuries of tazkira writing and one century of Tazkira writing of Urdu poets in India. Tazkiras of the poetesses, not only have basic importance with respect to their nature, presentation, language and expression but also these are the only significant source of information about the Biography  and poetry of the contemporary  poetesses. This research study has presented the introduction of Tazkiras of urdu poetesses which were written in end of the nineteenth century and also effort has been made to find out that how many of these tazkiras  have been written during the period and what is style of their presentation.
