Abstract

The principal objective of the present study entitled Transcending Gender Stereotypes in the Autobiographies of Select Women Writers is to study the autobiographies Amrita Pritamand#8223;s newlineThe Revenue Stamp, Kamala Dasand#8223;s My Story, Mrinal Pandeand#8223;s Daughter s Daughter, Shobha newlineDe Selective Memory, and Taslima Nasrinand#8223;s My Girlhood. The autobiography is one of those complicated, self-conscious texts in which the author stands both naked in their writing. Being an avenue of empowering women, autobiography becomes a clutch-up in their great effort for enlightened expression, a vista to unshackle their inventive and creative prospective and convalesce the terrain for unhampered expression and logical emancipation. newline
