Summary
The privileged 21st century woman needs more to fill her soul. The whiteness of the page and her walls is representative of privilege. The vapidity of the joys of life like her fellowship, iphone, good food and clothes, represent the ignorant life, middle class women lead, blissfully unaware of the suffering of women from other strata, elsewhere. The room and money in her life represent her social mobility in society over the last century, but her pen has no ink because she lacks the access to see the world- the real world. Especially if she is an artiste, she must see the world, not the white world, but the world in all its colours, sorrow and pain and that will lend the ink to her pen. To write (write, dance, sing, act whatever) she needs more than a room and money today, she needs to know that she must roam, with her own mind to see beyond her white walls.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/40855783Sat, 12 Sep 2020 07:36:07 +0000Radio Ranga MandiraVirginia Wolf famously said, women need a room of their own and money in order to be able to write.

Dr. Swarnamalya revisits this need in the 21st century to ask if women who have a reasonable access to a room and some money, need something else today.
