Feminist Elements in the Novels Kannagi and Ponnacharam

Abstract

Tamilselvi is a contemporary writer who has created a path for herself in the world of Tamil fiction. All her works are centered around women's issues and progressive thoughts. The situation of having to live with her husband no matter what has changed has been changed. It is noteworthy that new changes are seen in her novels such as ignoring the mistakes made by her husband, separating from her husband and living independently with self-confidence, choosing a partner according to her wishes, and separating from a husband who marries many women and going to live with the one who wants to live with her alone. Any action is shown by highlighting women in society. The novelist has revealed through the female storytellers Kannagi and Ponnacharam that they act without changing their decision, principle and self-confidence in any situation, for whom or for what.
