Abstract | This paper examines the feminist perspectives in the works of Anita Desai and Mahasweta Devi, analyzing their portrayal of gender and power dynamics in Indian society. Through a comparative study of their major works, the research highlights the authors' distinct approaches to addressing women's experiences and struggles. Desai's narratives focus on the psychological landscape of middle-class women, exploring subtle forms of patriarchal oppression and resistance within domestic spheres. In contrast, Devi's writing adopts an overtly political stance, centering on marginalized communities and employing an intersectional approach to gender issues. Despite their differing styles and focuses, both authors significantly contribute to the feminist discourse in Indian literature. Their works collectively offer a comprehensive critique of gender norms and power structures, paving the way for future generations of feminist writers in India. This study demonstrates the crucial role of literature in illuminating and challenging social realities. |
