Science fiction, as a literature of fantasy, goes beyond the mundane to ask the question: what if the world were different from the way it is? It often challenges the real, builds on imagination, places no limits on human capacities, and encourages readers to think outside their social and cultural conditioning. This book presents a systematic study of Indian women’s science fiction. It offers a critical analysis of the works of four female Indian writers of science fiction: Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, Manjula Padmanabhan, Priya Sarukkai Chabria and Vandana Singh. The author considers not only the evolution of science fiction writing in India, but also discusses the use of innovations and unique themes including science fiction in different Indian languages; the literary, political, and educational activism of the women writers; and eco-feminism and the idea of cloning in writing, to argue that this genre could be viewed as a vibrant representation of freedom of expression and radical literature. This ground-breaking volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of English literature. It will also prove a very useful source for further studies into Indian literature, science and technology studies, women’s and gender studies, comparative literature and cultural studies.

"The present study employs a gynocritical strategy to examine the six novels by contemporary Indian women novelists, namely, Shashi Deshpande's The ""Dark Holds No Terrors"" (1980), Shobha De's ""Socialite Evenings"" (1989), Githa Hariharan's ""The Thousand Faces of Night"" (1992), Mrinal Pande's ""Daughter's Daughter"" (1993), Manju Kapur's ""Difficult Daughters"" (1998) and Arundhati Roy's ""The God of Small Things"" (1997). The aim is to focus on women's experiences as women in the contemporary Indian society which is in a transitional phase-holding on to the traditional views yet inclining towards the forces of modernity like globalisation, materialism, consumerism and feminism. Efforts are made to record the emerging female voices using the tenets of the new women-centred psychologists, which suit the Indian cultural context."

Since ancient time's Patriarchal hegemony on socio-cultural institutions has established the general notion about woman as a shadow figure to a male concierge, be he a father, a husband or a son. It was also a granted notion that reader, writer and even critic of all literature can only be male because this notion assumes the exclusion of female voice from the institution of literary expression- shunning her as an inferior sex. The purpose of all Patriarchal conspiracy is to retain power and possessive right over womenfolk. To make women believe that there is such a thing as essence of femaleness called femininity serves the purpose of Patriarchy. This speaks of the Male-chauvinistic conspiracy and prudish notion of the male-dominance in the world for exploitation of womenfolk.
