ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on three female writers – Mahasweta Devi, Inci Aral and Rosario Castellanos – and on a specific kind of story that all three writers produce: the femicide narrative, which narrates the destruction of a female subject by their society/surroundings. Despite the different historical contexts, the rejection of an overly optimistic sense of agency and empowerment will be seen as the subtext of all three of these writers.
