Abstract

The research project titled "Exploring the Influence of Indian Women on English Literature" investigates the numerous and varied contributions that Indian women have made to English literature. This research examines the myriad of roles that Indian women have played in the literary world, including those of authors, poets, critics, and cultural activists. These women have shaped the parameters of scholarly discourse in India and the international arena. This research aims to investigate the topics, styles, and socio-political circumstances that have influenced the literary creation of Indian women. This is accomplished via an analysis of significant works and critical viewpoints. The purpose of this research is to shed light on the transformational influence that Indian women authors have had on English literature and to promote a greater understanding of the distinctive contributions that they have made to the literary canon. This will be accomplished by spotlighting the voices and experiences of Indian women writers.
