My Pen is My Palisade : A Study of Charmayne D’Souza

Abstract

During the late seventies of the twentieth century, the emphasis was given to ‘gynotexts’ and ‘gynocriticism’ instead of ‘androtexts’. A deliberate attempt was made towards (re)presentation of biological differences, (re)valuation of women’s experience, (re)thinking the canons of texts, (re)reading and the (re)presentations of the conscious and the unconscious. The genres and the structures which are included in it are women’s writing, the psychoanalysis of female creativity, the progression of the female career and the growth of laws of a female tradition. In other words, it marks the emphasis on women’s full access to language.
