Bhandaru Acchamamba Satcharitra
This is a brief biography of Bhandaru Acchamamba, perhaps the
first story writer, and indeed the first women’s historian in Telugu.
Within 8
chapters the author Kondaveeti Satyavati tries to given insight into the short
(30 year long) life of a woman who not only wrote several stories and attempted
a history of women across India, but was also a staunch supporter of the
Swadeshi movement and was a an asocial worker.
Her writings in Telugu are all
the more remarkable as she lived in the State for a very short period of time
and had managed to balance her personal domestic life with her strong feminist
thinking.
