The life and image of women has changed immensely. The early woman was intensely occupied from dawn to dusk in keeping the tribe alive. Today too, she is immensely occupied but her suffering has not changed. Margaret Drabble, a contemporary living author, residing in London has written many novels portraying the suffering of women. Her heroines are occupied with the difficulties of fulfilment and self-definition in a man’s world, the conflicting claims of self-hood, wife-hood and mother-hood. The present book concentrates mainly on those novels of Margaret Drabble which are about feminine experience.
