The principal objective of the present study entitled Feminist Sensibility in Autobiographies of Five Indian Women Writers is to study these autobiographies critically. It aims at highlighting the impact of feminist sensibility as observed through their autobiographies. An attempt has been made to signify the elements of sensibility in autobiographies of five Indian women writers. They are Amrita Pritam s The Revenue Stamp, Kamala Das My Story, Laxmibai Tilak s Smruti Chitre, Urmila Pawar s Aaydan, and Shobha De s Selective Memory: Stories From My Life, newlineMy thesis is a modest attempt to bring to light the remarkable work undertaken by major Indian women writers with their feministic approach. The feminine sensitivity as observed through their works is undertaken for the present study. They have revealed their cultural, linguistics and religious background in their memoirs.
