SITA IS SITA: EXPLORING POST FEMINISM FICTIVE SLOT OF DINA MEHTA
Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Dina Mehta – the playwright, novelist and short story writer is a rebel in creativity by writing primarily for new women. She is a champion in her own special way for her emphasis is much on self- autonomy than combating gender victimization. Her concept of new woman is adorned with the glory of human dignity as “assertive being”. The paper understudy explores the concept of post feminism with reference to the short story of Dina Mehta to highlight her “equality portrayal” of woman demanding ‘womanhood’ in bold manner. The story understudy is an exemplary contribution to ‘Serious fiction’ for it calls upon women to identify and engineer social change for gender welfare along with ‘inner change’ It also brings to light a knowledge of the frighteningly complex minds that create moments of crisis in the lives of dedicated and devoted ‘homemakers’. The Story is much commensurate with our deep needs of today – as a ‘Pointer’ and not a ‘thought – adventure’
