POST MODERN ERA FEMINIST THEORY IN ANITA DESAI SELECTED NOVELS

Abstract

For a really long time, ladies in the customary social request and framework have forever been viewed as compliant to men. In man centric Bourgeois society, the matriarchal local area has been 'embarrassed', 'tormented', 'hushed' and 'tormented' socially and monetarily. With the post-modernizing age, ladies started to see the universe with their own eyes and not through the male look.

In India, with the matriarchal battle against male controlled society one more inward transformation began showing itself in writing, particularly ladies' works. The voices of ladies started to compete with those of men. The motivation behind our paper is to zero in on the women's activist message as expressed in Anita Desai's all around rumored books, Cry, the Peacock and Where Shall We Go This Summer? Our plan is to look at fundamentally how in the post-present day time.

Indian ladies essayists in English have featured ladies' inquiries. They have raised a red hot voice or started an internal upset against the conventional traditions and orientation separation with the end goal of balancing common freedoms. Considering the femme fatale characters of Anita Desai, one of the most renowned Indian writers writing in English, especially the powerful and domineering female protagonists, Sita and Maya of Cry, the Peacock and Where Shall We Go This Summer? This paper proposes to draw attention to Desai’s works as exemplary instances of postmodern feminism.
