Book Description
The study of plethora of humanity stands on the grounds of masculinity and femininity. Based on this, sex and gender , masculinity and feminity become the part and parcel of existence. Patriarchy and feminism form the two cornerstones of life. Texts are articulated on the basis of humanity, but, at times, interpreted on the grounds of gender. This book throws light on such issues and puts forth the autobiographical texts of a female and a male , Hurston and Hemingway, in a comparative study, in order to specify the voice of a human culture rather than a masculine or a feminine culture.
