Her present work "Female Characters in Modern Assamese Drama" makes an attempt to investigate the role played by women in modern Assamese drama. The treatment does not limit itself in just describing and evaluating the dramatic works from the aesthetic or literary point of view, but relates them to the society and the women in society of Assam. For the convenience of the systematic study, the topic of the work has been divided into eight characters. Dr. Goswami gives ample evidences of careful and painstaking study, careful analysis and detailed treatment of the subject matter of the work. I hope that the book will be read and appreciated by the researchers and students of literature in particular and the readers in general.
