The danger of gender

the long version

The Danger of Gender explores the influence of caste, class and gender in contemporary women's writing in India. Gender affects women in fiction as well as in real life. This work represents the current situation of women in India throughout a social, historical and literary analysis. It is focused on three kinds of contemporary women's writing in India - such as Indian English literature (represented by Anita Nair); Dalit literature (exemplified by contemporary Marathi women writers) and Tribal literature (embodied by Mahasweta Devi and tribal women writers).
