Vivek’s Notes
She mainly chose women to be her protagonists. Her works revolve around complex social, political and psychological issues of post-colonial middle-class Bengali families; "Bama-Bodhini", "Nati Nabanita" and "Seeta Theke Shuru" are some of her noted works. Her strong female characters inspired and complemented men.
