"raw_bio": "K. Saraswathi Amma (14 April 1919 – 26 December 1975) was a Malayalam feminist writer whose short stories have been anthologised in translation in several American texts. According to critic Jancy James, \"In the entire history of women's writing in Kerala, Saraswathi Amma's is the most tragic case of the deliberate neglect of female genius.\" K. Saraswathi Amma's first short story was published in 1938, followed by 12 volumes of short stories, a novel, and a play. In 1958, a book of essays titled Purushanmarillatha Lokam was published. In her time she was dubbed as a 'man hater,' but later feminist scholars have celebrated her. J. Devika in her article titled 'Beyond Kulina and Kulata: The Critique of Gender Difference in the Writings of K. Saraswati Amma', in Indian Journal of Gender Studies re-reads the writings of K. Saraswathi Amma, whom she describes \"an author marginalised within the Malayalee literary universe and labelled as an incorrigible man-hater.\" Devika considers her paper an \"effort to read her writing as an engagement with the positions taken in the debates around modern gender in the early 20th-century Malayalee public sphere.\"",
