Abstract

In this era where short story genre is spreading and increasing, most of the women writers have mentioned the presence of women in their literary works. Women hold an indispensable place in this society, but it can be seen that they suffer mentally and physically which are also reflected in the short stories of women writers. Tamil literature, to this day continues to express life or lifestyle. In this way, in the short story genre, the essence of the story is to depict a small part of life or a small event. Although women writers choose the plot of the story like other writers, the reason for the presence of woman is because they themselves are women. Women writers reveal the sufferings and the injustices against women albeit they emphasize their pleasures to a lesser extent. A man and a woman come together. They also bring out the evils of women working against women. Women writers bring out the frustrations of women psychologically and casually. Women writers bring out the injustices against women in every era, how the family and society she depends on are responsible for her wrong decisions, and also insist that women too have heart, longings and expectations through the female characters in their short stories. A woman suffers in every phase of her life because of her dependents, the social view that women are the only ones to make mistakes, and she tries to escape from it, and finally the situations where life itself is questioned, and the crimes committed by men depend on women. Let's explore the presence of women in the works of women writers through the collection called "Meethamirukum Sorkal".
