ABOUT THE BOOK
Shashi Deshpande's novels and short stories primarily explore experiences of oppression of Indian woman in the domestic set up. Experiences which are rooted in " the presumption that [a woman] is an inferior being ,of carrying the burden of being an unwanted female child, of having to battle an ingrained, deeply entrenched patriarchal system-all of which give rise to problems specific to their sex ."[Deshpande "Demythifing womanhood"] It is among the middle classes that the stereotypical values attached to social roles are most studiedly inculcated in the girl child. The causes of conflict and oppression of the woman originate with in the family. Interpersonal relationships are fraught with friction at the emotional, intellectual and sexual levels.
