A Note on Dr. Sarojini Sahoo
Well known for her frankness, Dr. Sarojini Sahoo is a prime
figure and trendsetter of feminism in contemporary Oriya literature. For her,
feminism is not a gender problem or any confrontational attack on male
hegemony. She accepts feminism as a total entity of female hood, which is
completely separate from the man's world. She has an avant-garde idea in
feminism. Kindle magazine from Kolkata, has enlisted her name among 25
exceptional women of India in its March 2010 Issue. (http://www.scribd.com/doc/27460652/Kindle-Small-Book-56-Pages-240210)
She writes with a greater consciousness of women’s bodies, which
would create a more honest and appropriate style of openness, fragmentation and
non-linearity. Her fictions always project a feminine sensibility from puberty
to menopause. The feminine feelings like restrictions in adolescence,
pregnancy, fear factors like being raped or being condemned by society and the
concept of a bad girl etc. always have thematic exposure in her novels and
short stories.
She writes her critical appraisals in English and her creative
stuff in Odia. Sensible Sensuality (ISBN:
978-81-7273-541-8) is her famous collection of essays published by
Authorspress, New Delhi. Her other works including novels and short stories in
English are as follows:
The Dark Abode (2008) (ISBN 978-81-906956-2-6), English
translation of her Odia novel Gambhiri Ghara has gained a
reputation for its feminist outlook and sexual frankness. The novel has also
been published from Bangladesh in Bengali as Mithya Gerosthali (2007)
(ISBN 984 404 287-9). Prameela K. P. has translated this novel into Malayalam
and has been published as Irunda Koodaram by Chintha
Publishers, Thiruvanthapuram. Rajpal & Sons, Delhi has published its Hindi
version as Band Kamra (ISBN 978-81-7028-954-8).
Besides her two short stories collections in English, such as: Sarojini
Sahoo Stories (2006) (ISBN 81-89040-26-X) and Waiting
for Manna (2008) (ISBN 978-81-906956-0-2), she has published a
bunch of short stories at her blogScent of Own Ink at: http://scentofownink.blogspot.in/
If a contributor needs Dr. Sarojini Sahoo’s novel and short story
collections for primary source material, kindly write to me. I will request Dr.
Sahoo to make the material available to him/her.
