| dc.description.abstract | Beyond the Frontiers: Women's Stories from Nepal (2006) is the first anthology of women's stories from Nepal ever to appear in English. Major women characters in the stories reflect the women's condition in patriarchal society who are victimized due to the male violence, domination and oppression. These stories show the women's pains, sufferings, pangs and problem in Nepal or in Hindu culture and society which are same throughout the world. The women speakers in the stories, who are given the marginal and subordinated status, have raised their voice against patriarchy that challenged the traditional role of women in patriarchal society. Their strong sense of revolt against patriarchy has been expressed through their intense feelings, thoughts, speech as well as in their different activities. They are resisting against patriarchy with multiple responses which has silenced women through ages. As their resistance, somewhere they remain silent and sometimes they are seen being violent and rebellious towards male. These stories echoed the suppressed and silenced voice of women. Through their writings these women writers have raised their voice for women's empowerment. | en_US |
