During my interview, I asked Sawyer and Brooke about famous people in history. Both students were able to rattle off a list of famous men in our history. They

over the world. Writing on Indian womanhood, she does not personalise incidents or situations. Her aim is to enlighten women folk to stand for their own rights. It is note-worthy that the women are the sufferers and then, they are oppressors also. Works have been done on the poor plight of women, especially in India but it has been a tedious task to mark out the traces of women dominion in Deshpande novels. The artistic beauty of the author lies in being able to project both sides of the coin. She

The women in Harry Potter are some of the strongest and most complex characters in the literary world. They are intelligence, ruthless, compassionate, impulsive, and are as faceted as they are flawed.

In her one-month stay in New York, on one hand, Esther was cautious and conscientious to learn from an able and efficient female editor-Jay Cee, and she dreamt to follow Jay Cee’s successful step. On the other hand, she met various men and women in her colorful social life.
