Produktbeschreibung

"Feminism is a recognition of the domination of men over women and attempts by women to end male privilege... It is a theory, a method, and a practice which seeks to transform human relations".

Cynthia Orozco

Writing in the anthology Chicano Voices: Intersections of

Class, Race and Gender, 1993

Today women writings in fiction, poetry, drama and short story are gaining strong ground not only in India, but also all over the world. Women in their writings have portrayed the realistic picture of the modern man entangled in the web of materialism, sufferings of women under patriarchal domination and the deteriorating psychological conditions of man (human) kind in general. Women writings implicitly offer profound insights, new perspectives, and explain life of women in male dominated society, raising questions about patriarchally accepted social norms, which are detrimental to wo(man) being.

In spite of the various obstacles and impediments put in the path of women by men, women are struggling for their separate individual identity. The waves of feminist consciousness have brought new uprising for the emancipation and empowerment of women across the world. The changing life styles and the growing prosperity give the modern women confidence and they are now speaking out their concerns - physical security, emotional wellbeing, financial self-sufficiency or their rights.
