- Abstract
This article explores representation of women in short stories written by women writers from the state of Karnataka, India. The seven different stories selected for analysis are - (1) The Two Paintings (2) Mother, (3) Second Marriage, (4) Roowariya Lakshmi, (5) Dog's Tail, (6) The Third Eye, and (7) The One Who Left Forever. Each of these stories represents women who play different roles that were archetypal of the social milieu of the times. The authors were preoccupied with women's suffering, status, sexuality, familial obligations, psychological experiences when women fall in love outside of their marriages, and an attempt to emancipate from societal and familial constraints.
