Post-colonial feminist literature has always carried the heavy burden of dealing with
layers of misinterpretation of traditions and religions. At the center of this dilemma is the role of
woman and her dependence, economically and socially. The more traditional a postcolonial
society is, the more problematic the question of women’s emancipation is. Therefore, the more
passionate its women novelists like Anita Nair raise what many readers might consider taboo
questions about the role of woman in contemporary post-colonial India.
Among the novels of Anita Nair, Ladies coupé and Mistress are chosen for this paper.
Through these novels Anita Nair has signalled the arrival of a sensitive writer who could perceive
deeper mysteries in people’s personalities and take the reader on a wonderful journey of
discovery. These novels have a talent for probing the insular world. In these pages I shall attempt
an appreciation of Anita Nair’s powers for the delineation of the deeper layers of the woman’s
personality |
