“There is always a connection between a writer’s life and his literary work”, Jasbir Jain observes in her work on Nayantara Sahgal but it may need a little elaboration, there is always a connection between the writer’s work and his age. A writer belongs to an age; his work may be for ages. There have always been many factors responsible for the making of writer. It is also pertinent to mention that a writer’s life as much directly leads him to his course of writing, as Ford Madox wrote in, It was the Nightingale: The first thing that you have to consider when writing a novel is your story and then your story and then your story. If you wish to feel more dignified you may call it your subject. (Ford Madox ,Ford: 1933, 211) Every text has its context and to understand a text, the study of the context has much significance. The fiction world of Indian panorama imbibes the themes of the freedom movement, the oppression of the Harijans, the exploitation of peasants, the subjugation of woman, the tensions of joint family. Woman’s subjugation, ‘more subtle and deep-seated causes of woman’s oppression, continued victimization, legal, economic and social restrictions on the basic rights of women, aroused consciousness of equal human value in sensitive writers and particularly women writers. This consciousness turns into a movement all over the world against the inequities prevailing in the society. In this paper detailed analysis of the feminist views and how these novelists look through the prism of life to show feminine sensibility at work when the novelists present life-size women with throbbing pulse, yearning for love and recognition, longing for self-expression and individual fulfillment. The analysis attempts to reveal how much they have succeeded in representing their feminine sensibility and deep insight and understanding in the portrayal of women characters at length and what tendencies they adopt and how their individual perception differs from that of other feminist thinkers and writers.
