The Personal is Political: Women Empowerment and Women’s Writing Across Margins

Abstract

Women empowerment is not an issue that can be confined to our domestic and professional lives alone. This concern extends beyond the contours of our societal grid and manifests itself in almost all societies across the globe. The personal is no more concealed within the codes of conduct that are imposed on women, because political escalation and intervention has unlocked new avenues for women. Participation of women in this development is an optimistic step towards empowerment. Such awareness is neither ambiguous nor unrealistic, but sincere and pragmatic. Women from the margins are connecting with the mainstream in voicing their opinions. They are futuristic in approach and courageous.
