CONTEMPORARY WOMENS FICTION FEMINIST NARRATIVES...

Women's writing in the twentieth century has shown a dramatic shift in its preoccupations and
intentions. Rather than occupying itself with the trivialities of the social and domestic
spheres  the writing by women in the latter half of the twentieth century and approaching the
twenty-first century inheres concerns such as political  historical  questions of gender equity
and rights  interrogations of normative and patriarchal practices and other such issues that
have not been adequately addressed in women's writing thus far. The four essays in the present
volume are certainly not exhaustive or adequate in this regard - that of addressing this lacuna
in literary scholarship - but it may be viewed as a attempt to bridge the proverbial gap. As a
precursor to further scholarly works in the area  already existing as well as forthcoming  the
essays discuss the works of Toni Morrison  Margaret Atwood  Bapsi Sidhwa  Manju Kapur and
Sunanda Sikdar. Although the essays purport to exploring select areas of the authors' oeuvre 
the distinctive fictional structures of the authors help us to explore wider theoretical and
critical issues such as postmodernity  postcolonialism  feminism  globalism  nationalism and
other related issues.
