Women writers in India are moving forward with their strong and sure strides, matching the pace of the world. They are bustling out in full bloom spreading their own individual fragrances. They are recognized for their originality, versatility and the indigenous flavors of the soil that they bring to their work. Indian women writers like Shashi Deshpande, Arundhati Roy, Anita Desai, Kamla Das, Namita Gokhle, Shobha De, R.P.Jhabwala, and Kamla Markandaya, just to name a few, who hold their own in the woman writer’s world of initial rejection, dejection, familial bonds, domesticity and what not. It is amazing to note that these writers and many more have climbed the ladder of success the slow and painful way. Kamla Markandaya too started out just like any other starry eyed young writer-in-the-making.
