Women writers across the globe have made their distinctive mark, with their own perception of life be it feminine, or feminist or female. The critique of work by women writers introduced in the present volume, the sixth in the series, bears evidence to the growing critical attention towards authors writing outside the mainstream, in America, Canada, and especially in India, who can be seen sharing similar awareness and feelings regarding the woman's angst and aspirations. Since most of the authors discussed in these articles are prescribed in the English syllabus in the universities of India, both the teachers and the students will find them extremely useful, and the general readers who are interested in literature in English and/or women writers will also find them intellectually stimulating.Item type | Current library | Call number | Vol info | Status | Date due | Barcode |

The new series Studies in Women Writers in English is a grateful acknowledgment of the contribution and public recognition of the emerging voice of women in the arena of literature during the last few centuries, and especially in the latter half of the twentieth century. Women writers across the globe have made their distinctive mark, with their own perception of life be it feminine, or feminist or female.
The critique of work by women writers introduced in the present volume, the sixth in the series, bears evidence to the growing critical attention towards authors writing outside the mainstream, in America, Canada, and especially in India, who can be seen sharing similar awareness and feelings regarding the woman's angst and aspirations.
Since most of the authors discussed in these articles are prescribed in the English syllabus in the universities of India, both the teachers and the students will find them extremely useful, and the general readers who are interested in literature in English and/or women writers will also find them intellectually stimulating.
