Third Eye: Women Writings from Karnataka

Third Eye - a compilation of short stories written by leading Kannada women writers, translated for the first time into English, focus on women, in their different roles - a modern housewife, an illiterate homemaker, sculptor's wife from the medieval times, a mother - caught between conservatism and modernity. The spectrum of issues raised in these stories move beyond the feminist, reflecting changing social mores from the late 1940s to the contemporary times.
