-
The aim of this article is to project the suffering of women as presented in Anita Desai’s Where Shall We Go This Summer? and Shashi Deshpande’s The Dark Holds No Terror with reference to their female psyche seeking their identity in the male dominated world. As our society gradually emerges from its cocoon of suppression into progressive permissiveness, these two women writers detail out these changes in their fictional narratives.
