| Summary, etc |
Ashapurna's unspoken feminism has a legitimate place in gender studies. A contextual approach to knowledge is the prevailing approach so that all scholars feminist and non-feminists are open about how their knowledge of this particular literature is shaped by personal and cultural ideologies; the social construction of gender is central to all domains of feminism and the world of this literature; as a feminist author Ashapurna can count on sympathetic reviewers and journal editors and feminist scholarship should go ahead on the basis of her writing; non feminist authors should believe that they must address the relevance of her writing to the gender and family issue. Many feminist authors are appreciated in gender studies in India in the past decade. It will be my pleasure if i can reveal her thought to our nation by my work and scholars of women studies that can change our outlook towards feminism.<br/>Another fact is very remarkable to mention. The period in which Ashapurna was growing up was socially and politically a restless one. It was passing through a phase of agitation which resulted in a nationwide awakening. Though the children of Harendra Nath were far away from the direct touch of the outside world, they were quite sensitive to the restlessness going on throughout the country led by Gandhi; and other political leaders who were ready to sacrifice their lives to bring independence; but her mother had a great respect towards the freedom fighters. Thus different factors were responsible for nourishing specific culture which guided Ashapurna from her early childhood to youth, and carried her to a definite platform through various experiences and ideals of life. |
