Book Description
Since ancient time's Patriarchal hegemony on socio-cultural institutions has established the general notion about woman as a shadow figure to a male concierge, be he a father, a husband or a son. It was also a granted notion that reader, writer and even critic of all literature can only be male because this notion assumes the exclusion of female voice from the institution of literary expression- shunning her as an inferior sex. The purpose of all Patriarchal conspiracy is to retain power and possessive right over womenfolk. To make women believe that there is such a thing as essence of femaleness called femininity serves the purpose of Patriarchy. This speaks of the Male-chauvinistic conspiracy and prudish notion of the male-dominance in the world for exploitation of womenfolk.

The Binding Vine
Author: Shashi Deshpande
Publisher: The Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 155861785X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
“There can be no vaulting over time,” thinks Urmila, the narrator of Shashi Deshpande’s profound and soul-stirring novel. “We have to walk every step of the way, however difficult or painful it is; we can avoid nothing.” After the death of her baby, Urmila finds her own path difficult to endure. But through her grief, she is drawn into the lives of two very different women—one her long-dead mother-in-law, a thwarted writer, the other a young woman who lies unconscious in a hospital bed. And it is through these quiet, unexpected connections that Urmi begins her journey toward healing. The miracle of The Binding Vine, and of Shashi Deshpande's deeply compassionate vision, is that out of this web of loss and despair emerge strand of life and hope—a binding vine of love, concern, and connection that spreads across chasms of time, social class, and even death. In moving and exquisitely understated prose, Deshpande renders visible the extraordinary endurance and grace concealed in women's everyday lives.

Crossing the Barriers : A Study of Shashi Deshpande’s Fiction
Author: Dr. Sunita Goyal
Publisher: K.K. Publications
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
About the book The book is a compact and authoritative study of the female characters in Deshpande's novels from psychoanalytical point of view using mainly Karen Horney's theory of neurosis and the theories of a few other Western feminist theorists and feminist psychoanalysts such as Carol Gilligan, Virginia Woolf, Nancy Chodorow, Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, Juliet Mitchell, Luce Irigaray, Helene Cixous and Julia Kristeva. These theories attempt to trace the causes of conflicts and neuroses in women, their coping strategies, their self-analyses and their journey towards reconciliation when they start articulating their individual urge and asserting their selves not only as daughters, wives and mothers but also as autonomous and self-actualized women. Thorough in content, stimulating in approach, here is an invaluable companion to Deshpande's texts.
