Women in Different Dimensions in Margaret Atwood and Anita Desai
Main Article Content
Abstract
In Margaret Atwood's novel The Edible Woman and Anita Desai's novels Cry, the Peacock, Voices in the City and Where Shall We Go This Summer? attempts have been made by some women characters to 'liberate' themselves from and to find alternatives to the institution of marriage. A study of the careers of these women characters enables one to arrive at the attitudes of these two women novelists towards the institution of marriage and the women's liberation movement.
