ESSAY ON: Devi & Head/2 Views of Patriarchy

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares two short stories. While the legacy of patriarchy has receded in Western industrialized countries, it remains entrenched in cultures. Bessie Head in "The Collector of Treasures" (writing from an African perspective) and Mahasweta Devi in "Dhowli" (writing about Indian culture) each show the devastation that patriarchal custom can have in the lives of two women. A theme that is prominent in both works is that women are forced to take extreme measures in their lives because society offers them no viable alternatives. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
