The Real Confessions of Indian Women Writers through their Work

Abstract

Women writing is an important area of study. It is one of the crucial ways for women to rise against male oppression. It took longer time than expected for female writers to flourish as women were not allowed to read and write, let alone enter the domain of writing. In India women authors gained recognition only in the 19th century. Writing allowed women to express their emotions, frustrations and social injustice which had been meted on them from centuries. Their writings show the urge to be treated equally with men. They were influential idol for common women to rise above patriarchy and lead their life on their own terms.
