    "What is it like to be a creative writer in a society which continues to have rigid expectations of what is proper for a woman? How do women find the time, space and energy to write? What are the forms that engage them? The history of women’s writing from Tamil Nadu post-independence is rich and fascinating. This book presents the voices and views of contemporary Tamil women writers whose works explore the implications of being female in Tamil Nadu today, in serious and playful ways. "
