Importance of Breasts in Mahasweta Devi's Breast Giver

Abstract

It talks about the importance of the breasts of the Protagonist Jashoda and how they help her in some situations and later how they lead to her death. It also shows the way in which Jashoda was treated as a commodity and common utility and left all alone when she lost her middle age and her breast milk. This shows the commodification and objectification of women on the basis of their body and beauty, which is a wrong deed and which should be avoided by everyone.
