Social Problems Implied in Old Women

Abstract

Mahasvita Devi is not only one of the most prolific writers in Bangladesh, but also an important activist. In fact, for Dewey, the two seem to have come together. From the title, you can roughly see that she is writing about women and their status in Indian society. Some of her characters are elderly women living in poverty, while others are exploited due to a lack of wealth; However, some of them are middle-class (one of whom even has a college education). Regardless of their status and despite being subjected to some form of abuse, whether physical or mental, not everyone is willing to accept their fate.
