Dr. Pooja Goel

Indian women writers have given a new direction to the Indian literature. They have made an everlasting mark in the field of English literature to change the point of view from the long hold of male over them. Now we can see a new awareness in women in all walks of life. Since ages women have been the point of acrimonious remarks. All the negative views find place in the form of myths, stories, legends and history. “A man’s life without a woman is like a flower without fragrance, a ship without a rudder or a body without spirit.” A woman plays a pivotal role in her family. Both man and woman are congratulatory to each other. Women are showing their spirit in every field, and in some respect, far better than the men. Now, women are not a marionette in the hands of men. They are equaled efficient like men. Our Indian English literature has gifted numerous enthusiastic  women  novelist as   Arundhati  Roy, Shashi Nayantara Sahgal, Rama Mehta, Geeta Mehta and many more. All of these female novelists are famous for their bold point of view that they tried to reflect through their novels. Their contribution not only flourishes the English literature but also colored the life of women n particular. In a nutshell, it can be said that their novels focused on the women characters as a protagonists who are isolated in the male dominating society. So that in general their contribution is commendable.
