Shashi Deshpande’s women: Feminine sensibility in quest of identity

Abstract

One of the most well-known names in Indian English writers is Shashi Deshpande. Her articles are primarily concerned with the misery caused by the patriarchal system on the lives of women. Throughout ancient times, India's male-dominated societal system has been unfair to women. They have always been subjected to pain on a physical, mental, and financial level, yet they are unable to get their rights as males. Many obstacles and limitations are emerging, both socially and in their various ways of existence. Yet as time went on, women began to see the light of knowledge. They have now begun to struggle and fight for their rights as they raise their voices against the oppressive societal structure. Despite their education and ability to support themselves, women are nonetheless controlled in some way by the predominantly male Indian culture. The present paper aims to analyse the theory of feminism by taking the women characters of Shashi Deshpande.
