Emotional and domestic territories: The positionality of women as reflected in the landscape of the home in contemporary South Asian women's writings
Article Abstract:
A study on how the status of South Asian women within the social structure of their families and communities is affected by their position in the physical structure of their houses and homes as well as in shaping their self-perception, self-esteem, identity and individuality is illustrated. These women have unseen lines and boundaries in their living spaces which they protect ferociously and eventually derive the most benefit from having their identities so irrevocably closely connected with their homes and families.
