Abstract


Post-colonial women writers writing within the margins of indigenous culture and feminism, therefore have an even more acute problem, since they have to confront the twin issues of legitimacy of feminine discourse in a patriarchal society and the nebulous cultural and social "space". They occupy in their efforts to situate their texts within the context of feminism. Mukherjee reiterates the marginalization of woman by exploring and exploding ways in which culture and ideology construct feminine identity.
