EXPLORING FEMINIST THEMES IN THE WORKS OF ANITA DESAI, SHASHI DESHPANDE, AND BHARATI MUKHERJEE

The stories of women oppressed by patriarchy needed to be heard so that males might be held accountable for the unfair treatment they endured. The women's resistance to the men's domination was essential. Community, class, and racial boundaries were all maintained by women. Through their writings, they sought to promote feminism. Though Indian women authors portray their female characters as powerful and goal-oriented, the truth is that women could only achieve success within the boundaries set by males. Nonetheless, the feminist authors did their utmost to assert themselves in a patriarchal society. The women had a tough road ahead of them since the culture was deeply entrenched in male-dominated norms, taboos, and beliefs. On top of that, detractors said that colonialism had a very different impact on men and women. Anita Desai, Shashi Desh pande, and Bharati Mukherjee's (three Indian novelists) feminist perspectives are the primary topic of this essay.
