A Review of Feminist Perspective in the novels of Shashi Deshpande
Keywords:
Feminism, Shashi DeshpandeAbstract
Feminism throws a challenge on age-long tradition of gender differentiation. It attempts to explore and enunciates a new found social order to identify pertinent resolves to real life problems in light of traditionally gendered role-playing .Woman has always been projected as a secondary and inferior human being. This bias against women can be seen right away from first day of creation. It is said that God is ‘male’ and it is said that, God after creating man made woman from rib of man. As Adam, first man on earth remarks about Eve. “…… This is now, bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman, because she has taken out of man” .It implies woman is secondary to man.
