About The Book

Women Writers in the Twentieth Century Literature, an anthology consisting of twenty articles by eminent scholars, is an attempt to analyse the points of view of women as evinced in the writings of the women writers belonging to the different genres and the countries such as India, America, Canada, South Africa, Africa, and various Commonwealth countries; and also the writings branded as “post-modernist literature” and the “literature of the new modernity”. Eminent women writers discussed in this anthology include Bessie Emery Head, Toni Morrison, Shashi Deshpande, Katherine Anne Porter, Bharathi Mukherjee, Taslima Nasreen, Anita Desai, Joy Macpherson, Arundhati Roy, Dina Mehta, and Meher Pestonji. All the articles included in this anthology focus on the issues of identity, alienation, suppression and protest, pertaining to the lot of women in the present-day world. The book stresses on the issue of woman’s dominance over man, not through her sexuality but the far effective qualities of her motherhood.
