Abstract:
The paper focuses on the works written by early Indian writers throwing light on the condition, need and concern for women’s education. Keeping the patriarchy as root, the Indian women novelists made a debut after independence and started producing novels dealing with themes of family, dowry, child marriage, superstitious practices, education, purdah system and widow remarriage. With their personal experiences and suffrage women novelists have paved down the path for modern writers of the time. They represented their vision of a ‘New Women’, a woman who is courageous, educated, independent and

The idea of gender based inequalities implies that in India, a gap in health, education, economy and political participation occurs between men and women. In India, gender based discrimination is a part and parcel of people’s life. Perhaps, due to this reason, The Global Gender Gap Report of 2013 ranks India high, on the inequality indices. Women have equal rights under the law to own property and receive equal inheritance rights, but in practice, women are at a disadvantage.

Abstract:
“Women of the Apocalypse: Feminist Afrospeculative Writers,” seeks to address the problematic ‘Exodus narrative,’ a convention that has helped shape Black American liberation politics dating back to the writings of Phyllis Wheatley. Novels by Zora Neale Hurston, Octavia Butler, and Alice Walker undermine and complicate this narrative by challenging the trope of a single charismatic male leader who leads an entire race to a utopic promised land. For these writers, the Exodus narrative is unsustainable for a number of reasons, not the least of which is because there is no room for women to opera

I address how these issues are considered and contextualised in major works of Victorian fiction: Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848), Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South (1855), Charlotte Bronte's Villette (1853), and George Eliot's Middlemar

Recent scholarly interest in Elizabeth von Arnim has related Elizabeth and Her German Garden and The Solitary Summer to the New Woman and Female Aesthete movements, concluding that von Arnim does not align herself with any movement per se. Rather, in these early works, Elizabeth advocates and adamantly defends her right to time in her garden, which becomes her sanctuary for reading and thinking. Little critical attention has been paid to von Arnim's later works; however, many of the themes established in von Arnim's early works can be traced through her later novels.

Abstract:
The second and third-generation Indian novelists writing in English have focused their attention on the search for identity and women’s emancipation. They have changed the themes of their novels into more meaningful and useful ones. They highlight that women’s equality with men is very essential for the welfare of the family as well as society. It is high time for all of us to consider protecting woman’s rights and not discriminate against women in any aspect of human life, be it family matters, financial issues, business, and commerce, politics, etc. Nayantara Sahgal, Shashi Deshpande, Manju Kapur, Jaishree Misra, and Anita Nair are a few Indian novelists who represent the second and third generations of Indian women novelists writing in English. They take women’s issues seriously. This paper focuses on how traditional conflicts and the element of patriarchy subjugate women to second-class citizen status, resulting in an identity crisis for women.

Abstract This chapter explores the ways in which women novelists diagnosed and challenged the constraints placed on women in US culture, particularly the pressures of private life and the obstacles to public life. The female body plays a central role in post-1940 US fiction by women. On the one hand, the female body seems constantly exposed, objectified, and marketed, as women strive to shape themselves to reflect cultural norms and ideals. On the other hand, the body serves as a vehicle for eroticism, autonomy, and pleasure described and celebrated more frankly than ever before in novels of the 1960s and beyond. The chapter concludes by noting the dizzying range of formal techniques, generic conventions, and thematic priorities represented in work by women, noting that the term “woman writer” retains political urgency and affiliative potential even as the field shifts to recognize the contributions of transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer writers.

He wrote with extraordinary insight about women and girls, and about the power conferred by money and the vulnerability conferred by lacking it.

Abstract Especially when vie wed a s the response or reaction to or development away from the seemingly dead end of naturalism, existentialism, though currently out of fashion, is nonetheless among the more important literary-philosophical developments of the twentieth century. And yet, though the whole tenor of Lawrence’s thought is anti-deterministic and though he almost certainly is one of the three or four most important English-language novelists of the century, D. H. Lawrence only infrequently is considered in the context of existentialism. To be sure, for Norman Mailer, Lawrence’s greatest interest lies precisely in his existentialism. Mailer represents Lawrence’s thinking in this way: “People can win at love only when they are ready to lose everything they bring to it of ego, position, or identity—love is more stern than war—and men and women survive only if they reach the depths of their own sex down within themselves.

Abstract The most influential depictions of libraries in fiction are those of Rabelais in Gargantua and Pantagruel and of Cervantes in Don Quixote. These works and their reception in English-language literature are discussed. Stretching from the Middle Ages to the present, this chapter ranges across English and some American literature. Particular attention is paid to the notion of the library as a site of tension between order and subversive disorder, and to the library as a place associated with madness, especially the madness of scholars. Among the authors discussed are John Donne, Sir Thomas Browne, writers about women and eighteenth-century circulating libraries, Gothic novelists, and James Joyce. Though many novels are considered, more detailed consideration is given to Walter Scott’s Waverley, George Eliot’s Middlemarch, and G. K. Chesterton’s The Return of Don Quixote.

Abstract In their forthrightly entitled article, ‘Victorian Women and Menstruation’, Elaine and English Showalter note that: Few taboos evoke as forceful and as universal a response as that surrounding menstruation. Even the redoubtable Marquis de Sade, who took a prurient delight in moldy feces and decapitated dogs, appears to have regarded menstruation with faint distaste . . . Small wonder that even Victorians as open-minded as Florence Nightingale and John Stuart Mill maintain an almost complete silence on the subject. (p. 83) ‘Unlike sexual activities’, the authors continue, ‘menstruation has no literary reflection, true or false.’ In the quarter of a century since the Showalters wrote their article critics have become very ingenious at uncovering the repressed consciousness of nineteenth-century fiction –– most aggressively in Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s polemic, ‘Jane Austen and the Masturbating Girl’. None the less, the menstruating woman has not been located and the Showalters’ claim about ‘no literary reflection’ would seem to hold up. There is, however, one exception. Not surprisingly, it is to be found in the toughest-minded of the mid-Victorian novelists, George Eliot.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Beginning with Tillie Olsen and continuing in the work of American and French feminist critics, silence in women has been viewed as the place of oppression, the mark of women’s exclusion from the public spheres of life and from respresentation as speakers in a text. But it is time to recognize that there is a female tradition of writing beginning in the nineteenth century that invites us to reread certain paradigms of silence and expression. Knowing that women in certain times and places are unable to speak openly, the novelists Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Virginia Woolf narrate the inwardness of female listeners and observers in conventional frameworks in life and texts, inviting us to interpret their silences not as passivity, submission and oppression, but as an enlightened presence. The silences represent women’s different ways of feeling and knowing-perhaps silences hiding fears, angers, taboo thoughts-as well as representing the available means of expression in particular historical and cultural circumstances. This female tradition, which is connected with the development of the novel and its ability to record inner life, replaces the speaking subject in the English novel with the observing, listening, thinking, dreaming female subject.
