Give a woman financial freedom, she will give you a divorce?

I hold great respect for women and I have even greater admiration for those women who are intelligent and yet choose to dedicate themselves to raising families. However, it is unfortunate that some laws, which permit women to divorce their husbands and claim half of their property or monthly alimony, are being misused by certain women.

I also find myself wondering why financially dependent women make excellent wives, while financially independent, intellectual women seem more inclined to seek divorce. As a student of English literature, I have compiled a list of renowned female writers who chose to divorce their husbands. Why is it that women, upon gaining financial independence, seem to seek freedom from traditional domestic life? Do they marry primarily for financial security or is their intention to build and nurture healthy families?

I have included only internationally influential female writers in this list. If I were to add names of women from sports, cinema, business, etc., the list would become never-ending:

1) Doris Lessing

2) Jamaica Kincaid

3) Adrienne Rich

4) Gayatri Spivak

5) Amrita Pritam

6) Hilary Mental

7) Wistawa (NB 1996)

8) Alice Munro (NB 2013)

9) Arundhati Roy

10) Margaret Atwood

11) Angela Carter

12) Dame Muriel Spark

13) Dorothy Hewett

14) Beatrice Cullenton

15) Tasleema Nasreen ( 5 times divorcee)

16) Barkha Dutt ( Twice Divorcee)

17) Nadine Gordimer (NB)

18) Wistawa szymborska (NB)

19)Svetlana Alexievich (NB)

20) Louise Gluck

21) Olga Tokarczuk (NB)

22) Lydia Davis

23) Isabel Allende

24) Han Kang (b. 1970) (NB)

25) Buchi Emecheta

Moral: Give a woman financial freedom, she will give you a divorce.

Complete English Literature Syllabus For UGC NET/SET/GATE/PSC {If you'd like to access an enhanced version of this entire syllabus and more, please visit Amazon Kindle by clicking the link below: 👉 📎 Amazon Kindle Version } —Sahil Sharifdin Bhat Introduction: English Literature students in Jammu and Kashmir, as well as other parts of India, typically study only about 5% of the NET and SET syllabus at universities. The remaining 95% must be covered through self-study at home or with the assistance of coaching centers. Unfortunately, not all students can afford the expenses of coaching centers. To address this gap, I have made a humble effort to guide students on what to study in order to succeed in national and state-level exams in English Literature. However, before I delve into the details, there are a few important points I would like to share. English literature is not just a subject; it is an ocean. Unlike other academic fields, it transcends mere study and ...
