Uma Maheshwari's 'Marappachi' Evokes Female Psychology

Abstract

In ancient times, there has never been a situation such as domination by a man over a woman or vice versa, rather they worked together, and ate together. Women’s puberty and family life were significantly highlighted. During the ages of ethnic groups, women played a lead role. Once the land-based society has evolved, the patriarchy, rights in the property, motherhood, childcare, growing a child, household chores, housekeeping, and domestic duties came into the picture and were assigned to women. Feminism has roots over thousands of years but later on, it was surrendered to patriarchy. Women have to fight for their rights and with that, the years passed on. It has a huge impact on her mental strength, and she was resisted for her every work and every word. Hence, the literature “Marappachi” was taken to research women’s psychology.
