Indian women novelists have been playing a significant role in the novelisation of the feminine psyche, especially their self-identifying and asserting-consciousness, often subjugated and manipulated by male-gendered patriarchy. The focus of this book in foregrounding the feminine sensibility and sensitivity at war with the hostility of a male-centered universe is a current one within the parlance of contemporary literary discourse. We live in an area of new knowledge-societies which are keenly aware of the reality of hegemony, exploitation and oppression.
