Abstract

Women’s writing in English began to appear soon after the poems, stories and novels all  came  together,  although  sporadic  and  hesitant.The  larger  changes  in  intellectual, socio-cultural  reconstruction,  and  multi-dimensional of Women’s image, role and status that  were  part  of  the  widespread  social  movements  of  the  entire  19thcentury  gave Women’s writing clear focus and purpose. Indian English literature has been making great strides during the last few decades thereby attracting the international attention. In fact,  the  post-independence  period  in  the  history  of  Indian  English  writing  is  generally equated with the modern period. It must be said in the light of all considerations that the post-independence  Indo-English  prose  and  poetry  has  characteristics  which  make  it distinctive and different from the writing of the earlier period.The post-1947 era, that is the period after India gained independence, is marked by the country‘s search for her own identity  as  a  new-born  nation  in  the  modern  world.
