Description

A selection of poems by twenty contemporary Bengali women poets, demonstrating art and technique of the highest order and an engrossing range of thought, feeling, content and style.

Do women writers write differently from men writers? If so, is this a matter of style or content or perspective? Is it an innate or a culturally produced difference? These and other such questions have been and continue o be debated with though-provoking results.
