WOMEN-WRITERS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE

Abstract

The writer of this research paper has discussed the identity and role of women as they have been exposed in English literature from the 20th century to the present day, the 21st. The article has demonstrated how women's traits changed following the end of World War I. During this period, women were encouraged to step outside of their comfort zones and embrace the stereotypes that the male-dominated society had ingrained in them. Many new female writers who had feminist perspectives in mind have undermined the heroic approach or the powerful male identity. The female writers like Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Richardson, and Katherine Mansfield have received the most attention in this study. Many feminist writers have created a flawless distinction between men and women, which can be seen in English literature from the early to mid-20th century. The study has also demonstrated that this is when feminism first appeared in literary works. Many literary works have addressed the ways in which the male world oppresses women.The state of modern Indian women in the Indian society as portrayed by Indian women writers has also been covered in the article.The publication has generated a number of Indian women feminist writers who achieved success in the 20th and 21st centuries.This research article also mentions current female worldwide icons.
