Indian Women’s Writings in English is a collection of research essays dealing with Indian women’s writing. Each essay engages with key debates relating to the society and the status of women in India’s literature and history. India has always been the undisputed land that placed women on a high pedestal and offered respect. A woman deified as ‘Adi Shakti’ is the centre of family role-relationship and society even in modern India. Biological differences never came in the way of enhancing eminence of women. Subsequent developments in the diachronic march of time and successive periods of subjugation culminated in the relegation of women’s position in the social space in India. Indian women’s writing in English is an area of enormous possibility and profit, an open and inviting ground for the scholars. This volume presents twenty essays in addition to three interviews, which seek to re-examine the major concerns of the writers.
