Critical Essays on Women Writing in English

Indian women writers like Shashi Deshpande Arundhati Roy, Anita Desai, Kamala Das and Shobha De, just to name a few who hold their own in the woman writer's world of initial rejection, dejection, familial bonds domesticity and whatnot. It is amazing to note that these writers and many more have climbed the ladder of success the slow and painful way. Arundhathi Roy's phenomenal success took everyone including herself by surprise. After all she did admit that she had just been fooling around on her new computer and that it took her at least five months to realize that she had a story let alone a novella in the making though she had always known she would be a writer.
