Abstract

There is a marked change in the writings of women in the recent past. Apart from focusing on the trials and tribulations that women experience in their pursuit of identity, women writers have been markedly portraying the increasing violence inflicted on women by men. Men have abused women and even young girls so as to assert their authority and they have understood that it is a means to oppress women so that their power over them is unquestioned. Writers like Shashi Deshpande, Arundhati Roy, Manju Kapur, and Shobha De have questioned the male authority through their writings and gave an expression to the issue of how women are sexually exploited in their novels.
