Here are women authors who grace the World Literature scene.
1) The second part, central to the novel "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang, was first published as an independent story, and it won many prestigious prizes. It is entitled: a) The Mango Mark b) The Mango and the Mark c) The Mongolian Mark d) The Magnolian Mark . The correct option is (c). Incidentally, the three distractors are the variations on the title provided by my students!
2) Elena Ferrante's quartet of novels, dealing with the lives of Lenu and her 'brilliant friend' Lila, is known as the a) Italian novels b) post war novels c) Neapolitan novels d) Nepolitan novels. (C) is the correct option. 'Neapolitan' refers to originating from or relating to the city of Naples, Italy. (d) was the spelling mistake, well, even at the PG level!
3) Complete this quote by Maya Angelou. "You may write me down in history/with your bitter twisted twisted lies/......./......"
The next two lines, the clarion call of feminism, are: "You may trod me in the very dirt/But still, like dust, I'll rise." Most apt and assertive!
