Indian women writers have projected women issues with their inner-aspiration as well as their peculiar responses to men and society.

Women’s issues in India are different from those in the western countries where a woman’s quest for identity and survival become major discourses.

Abstract:
Louise Erdrich is one of the most prolific, important and successful contemporary native American writers. Love Medicine is her representative work. And it represents the lives of Chippewa Indians in reservation. This paper aims to analyze traditional Indian women’s relationship with nature from the perspective of eco-feminism. Both the Indian women and the living environment in reservation are persecuted by the patriarchy and they are deprived of voice. In men’s eyes, women and the nature are just something inferior and attached to them. However, the Indian women don’t yield. They unite toget

Indian women authors who write in English represent the realities of India in the current Indian literary scene. They have a lot of duties in the literary community. As researchers in anthropology sociologists, novelists, essayists, and travel writers, they carry out their duties with remarkable skill and then assume worldwide responsibility for promoting peace in their capacity as ambassadors. Additionally, they have created the odd contradiction of reading and appreciating how skillfully they address the problems of sexual harassment of women in post-colonial and postmodern contexts, includi

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 lea

The earliest and the latest novels of Shashi Deshpande especially with female protagonist are taken for the study. The Indian woman can take up a cause, espouse a rebellious or revolutionary standpoint, but she cannot escape the burden of her traditional roles, responsibilities and postures, all of which have been handed down as part of her Indian heritage.

Through the medium of their work, they have persistently <strong>endeavored</strong> to call into doubt the unquestioned rule of mankind.

Indian English post-colonial women's prose has seen many a change in the last sixty years since the pioneering writers gave voice to the Indian women. By breaking away from the burden of the colonial past and the traditional limitations of Indian society, the writers carved out a place for a distinct female identity in the Indian English literary sphere. The more recent women's prose addresses a wide range of universal issues of human experience, usually closely interwoven with the colourful heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
