|---|---|
| Description: | Discussions on any narrative focusing on the experiences of, about and by women have always had differences as well as similarities. What makes such varying approaches interesting is the fact that the re-readings and re-presentations of the hegemonic narratives necessitated the significance of feminist approaches which forms the major focus in the present volume. A feminist reading of the current narratives could explain how historically, women's rights and roles have been undermined and how the absence of women was never a concern in the male-centered narratives. Women's writings provide a consciousness that helps individuals consider critically about how differently men and women are dealt. With different dimensions brought in through the various scholarly articles on the differential treatment of women in the highly misogynist society, the book offers the space for the intellectuals, the academic researchers, and scholars in the field of literature and humanities to contribute to the development of an egalitarian world. |
