Analysis Of Mulk Raj Anand 's ' The Feminine Sensibility '

This passage, from “No Woman Born” by C.L. Moore, plays a pivotal role in the story. It shows the reader if Deirdre, the entertainer with her brain implanted into a metallic body, after a theater fire critically damaged her human form, can still work as a dancer and a singer. The excerpt describes her first live performance after she obtained a new cybernetic body. The audience is unaware of her true identity. Consequently, the reader understands if the audience will accept her in this current state-the symbiosis between a human flesh and a machine. Ultimately, people are compelled by her performance and recognize her true identity as Deirdre.

In the novel Sister of My Heart, the writer has artistically portrayed the physical and psychological tensions and tortures to which women are subjected. She has created a new empowering image for women. The diversity of women and the diversity within each woman is portrayed through Anju and Sudha. Divakaruni poignantly explores the struggle of Indian women as they seek new pastures in a world that would have them remain submissive. Her characters struggle to release themselves from a tradition bound society in order to gain an independent identity. There is a shift from being controlled through tradition to asserting.

Eavan Boland’s poem “It’s a Woman’s World” illuminates the fact that history has shaped an unfair role for women in today’s society. Boland criticizes the gender bias with regards to the limitations placed on women and their job choices despite their ability to be just as successful in the workplace as men. Regardless of the fact that the bias against women in the workplace is often overlooked, Boland aims to show the shared reaction of women to the gender bias prevalent in our society by using short sentence fragments, repetition, and a fire motif throughout the poem.

In “It’s a Woman's World,” Eavan Boland utilizes several literary techniques to reveal the poem’s complex conception of a “woman’s world.” Boland sheds light on the static nature of a woman’s role in society, which sparks their desire to overcome the societal limitations that is put upon them by men. Through her sarcastic title, use of personification, and critical tone, Boland is able to expose both genders stereotypical responsibilities and to convey society’s desire to silence women’s outrage against their role in this world.

This paper attempts to examine the fictional projections of Indian girls, to see how they emerge in ideological terms. Their journeys from self-alienation to self-adjustment, their childhood struggles against the hypocrisies and monstrosities of the grown-up world, eventually demolishing the unjust male constructed citadels of power that hinder their progress- are the highlighted issues. The point of comparison between the two novels focused on here is the journey of Rahel in The God of Small Things and Sai in The Inheritance from a lonely childhood to a tragic adulthood passing through a struggle with the complex forces of patriarchal society. Both the novels portray the imaginativeness, inventiveness, independence, rebelliousness, wide-eyed wonder and innocence associated with these young girls.

In the article “The Lost Girls”, Apoorva Mandavilli introduces her argument with the story of a girl with autism who was misdiagnosed nine times. She explains how autism is not as noticeable in females as it is in males. Being misdiagnosed can cause many years of struggle with different professionals and doctors, as it is shown in the young girls that Mandavilli introduces. Mandavilli builds off these young girls’ stories and creates an argument surrounding the issue with misdiagnoses of females with autism. While she writes in an informative tone, her belief is not agreed on with some professionals in the field, so her goal is to convince her audience that the misdiagnosis in the young girls are caused by the limit of information and unknowingness of clinicians. As she builds her argument against clinicians, she uses different literary elements to help persuade the audience. Mandavilli begins her article with a captivating title and assisting subtitles throughout the article to help shape and organize her argument. Her argument consists of factual information along with anecdotes as supporting evidence. In terms of language, she primarily uses descriptive adjectives and tone to expand her argument. In her argument, Mandaviilli uses literary elements in her language to potentially persuade the reader.

Mukherjee and Allende depict flawed men, in contrast to powerful female characters. In “Letters of Betrayed Love” by Allende, a woman and a man exchange love letters, and when she finally meets the man, “he looked up, surprised, but did not rise, because his crutches were too far away to be reached without

Malgonkar draws up very striking images to bring to the reader the stark realism of the times that he was a witness to. Through the writings of Malgonkar the readers understood the rise of nationalism with the youth being split into two schools of thought: one following the path of ahimsa or Gandhism, the other likes of Subhash Chandra Bose; he keenly observed the social and political changes that were taking place through the arising awareness towards the forces of destiny shaping the nation. At the same time, he describes the impact of the British rule on every aspect of Indian life even language and ethics; the growing communalism during the closing years of the British rule in India. In writing novels, Manohar Malgonkar has drawn from his vast experience and his observations of real people he had come across while he had served in the British Indian army from 1924 to 1952, having travelled to Indo-China and England.

Literature is the reflection of the society. It has major impact on the development of society, political system, culture, and civilization. Manju Kapur,in her novel presens the problem of the Indian women in the male- dominated society. Manju Kapur vividly shows the importance of education and freedom for Indian women. Through the character of Virmati, the protagonist of the novel, Manju Kapur makes the society aware of women's inner conflict and the cultural diversion in their life. She proves herself that there is no hierarchical division from male to express her 'self'. The women characters in this novel have explored themselves to establish an identity, not imposed by the male patriarchal society. Based on these perceptions many Indian

She makes an important point when trying to go beyond the female (otherness), by paying careful attention to differences among women themselves, and by putting emphasize on the multiple realties that women faces, and by that trying to uncover universalist interpretations (Parpart and Marchand 1995:6). She reveals the inadequacy of binary categories by showing us how power is defined in binary terms, between the people who have (men) and the people who do not (women). This is a consequence of seeing women as a homogenous group, and contributes to the reinforcement of the binary division between men and women (Mohanty 1991:64). By assuming that women are a already constituted group with the same experiences and interests, gender is looked upon as something that can be applied cross cultures (Mohanty 1991:54), and it also produces an assumption about the “average third world woman” as poor and uneducated, in contrast to the educated, modern Western women (Mohanty 1991:56). Implicit in the binary analytic lies the assumption that the third world woman only can be liberated through western rationality. Mohanty is making an important point when emphasising the need to challenge these objectifications (Udayagiri 1995:163).

Bakha poses more than a mere verbal or religious threat to society. Anand dwells on his physicality, describing him as "strong and able-bodied"(9) and "A superb

The author of the book, Reena Patel is a feminist scholar and the theme of her book is specifically on the mobility and inequality faced by women in the society due to their timings of employment at the Call Center Industry. The study is the first in-depth research on the transnational call center industry which has been written from the women worker’s point of view. Reena Patel conducted an Ethnographic study in the cities of Mumbai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. The new challenges faced by them with regard to the night shift employment alongside the opportunities to work in an upscale globalised work environment, and the attraction towards a relatively high wage is a source of fast access to money.

To conclude, this paper may be questioned on the grounds whether the fictional representations of the notion of sister-hood beyond nation, culture, race, creed is in reality possible, and whether of Alexander, a celebrated writer of Indian diaspora, is directing and shaping strategies for the establishment of sister-hood through her writings or it is just a deconstruction on her story. But so far as present analysis is concerned, the purpose is to read the following statement in the story through its characters and their situations: A Feminists must not avoid, but invite dialogue, and confront, racism and classicism, as well as sexism, on both a personal and a theoretical level, if we are to achieve the coalitions enabling feminism to become a truly international and intercultural movement. The characters seek freedom through their actions but freedom is always conditioned on the response of

Ruskin Bond, rightly observed as ‘Wordsworth’ of India, has made eminent contribution to Indian writing in English. His works, sophisticated yet simple, convey a large and complex meaning inherent in Indian life and culture. Prominently recognized for his treatment of nature, children and childhood in his notable works, Bond also established himself as an illustrious promoter of feminism. Under the wrap of dark comedy, he gracefully touches on the subject of sexual despotism and repression meted out towards women. In Susanna’s Seven Husbands, he ruthlessly brings out the subjugation that a woman faces in a prejudiced society by subverting the established norms of system and institution regarding the general perception of women’s place in society.
