Swarnakumari Debi: Bengali Female Writer unpacks the scholarship of the 19th-century Bengal luminary. It explores Debi's literary activism, assesses her works in a contemporary context, and explores possible reasons for her prolonged exclusion from the dominant discourse. Despite her reputation in the creative circles, Debi remains excluded from the literary canon and is often better known as the sister of writer, poet and social reformer Rabindranath Tagore. This book considers Debi to be of merit as a writer who extensively wrote for five decades and helped to redefine feminine sensibilities in her subjective ways. Through assessing Debi's work and life, this book offers a brief history of women's writing and the anxiety of authorship of women writers. Swarnakumari Debi: Bengali Female Writer will benefit the researchers in Literature, Women's Studies, Gender Studies, and Culture Studies, as well as general readers interested in the life and work of Debi.
