Kavita Kane
Kavita Kané is the best selling author of six novels and today, she is considered a revolutionary force in Indian writing mainly because she has brought in feminism in where it is most needed – mythology. All her six novels, are based on lesser known women in Indian mythology – Karna’s Wife (2013); Sita’s Sister (2014) on Ramayana’s most neglected character – Urmila; Menaka’s Choice (2015) on the apsara Menaka; Lanka’s Princess(2016) on Surpanakha, the female antagonist in the Ramayana; The FisherQueen’s Dynasty (2017) on Satyavati, the grand matriarch in the Mahabharata and the latest one Ahalya’s Awakening on Ahalya, ironically one of the most revered as well as the most doubted character in the Ramayana.
