Ashapurna Devi "The Distant Window " chapter Summary send me please​

Answer 1

Ashapurna Devi, sometimes known as Ashapoorna Devi or Ashapurna Debi, was a notable Bengali author and poet who lived from January 8, 1909, to July 13, 1995. The Government of India honored her with the Jnanpith Award and the Padma Shri in 1976. She was awarded the Deshikottama by Vishwa Bharati University. The Distant Window is one of her famous publications.

Explanation:

• During the colonial and postwar periods in Bengal, India, Ashapurna Devi (1909–1995), a notable Bengali woman novelist, focused on women's creativity and enlightenment. These issues were also discussed by Ashapurna Devi in a number of short stories, but a critical examination of her trilogy Pratham Pratisruti [The First Promise] (1964), Subarnalata (1967), and Bakulkatha [The Story of Bakul]19 (1974) would allow us to experience this struggle against the backdrop of India's transition from British colony to an independent country.
• The author reminisces about her childhood days and tells us how her mother was the chief inspiration for her interest in literature at a young age in Aar Ek Ashapurna [Another Ashapurna], a collection of numerous short pieces in the form of memoirs, intellectual thoughts, and short discussions on various aspects of contemporary literature, written by the author herself (DEVI 2008).
• To summarise Indira Chowdhury's interpretation of Ashapurna Devi's agenda, the first two parts of Ashapurna's trilogy focus on what it means to be a mother in colonial Bengal — what are the responsibilities and what, if any, choices are available, and through this problematic focuses on the issue of female subjectivity.
