Women on Women: Indian Women Writers' Perspectives on Women

by Dr. Asha Choubey

Overview

Women's writing has become the focus of academic discourse in present times. There are books on women in Indian English literature and there are books on Indian literature in translation but there is not yet a book that foregrounds Women in Indian writing by women. I take this approach because I feel there is a need to understand and study Indian literature as an unsegregated whole, in the light of Indian sensibility. That is what precisely, my book aims to accomplish. Connoisseurs of Literature, researchers working in the field of Indian Literatures, Postcolonial literature, Gender and sexuality studies, and Women's literature will find it a usefulbook.
