Although now, peace has been restored to the lands still there are many issues which have to be sorted out.

Women writing in Sri Lanka began in 1928 when Rosalind Mendis published her first novel, The Mystery of a Tragedy published by Arthur Stockwell of London. The novel was not so successful and it did not pave the way to inspire other women to take up writing as a career. Women writing did not flourish in Sri Lanka due to many reasons but over the last three decades, it has witnessed a new wave of women writers trying to carve their niche in the world of English writing as there has been tremendous flow of women writers. Vijeta Fernando writes, a half a century long drought followed before creative writing, especially by women, could take root and flourish in the island country. So the writing culture including both men and women developed in Sri Lanka in the postcolonial period.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Literature - Middle East, , language: English, abstract: The paper analyzises the effects of diasporic, postmodern and gender based voice in the novel "e;Children of the Jacaranda Tree"e; from Sahar Delijani. Sahar Delijani an Iranian author whose debut novel, Children of the Jacaranda Tree, is a novel which reflects a female writer's voice out of her country which symbolically presents a diasporic, gender based voice. This voice has been raised out of her homeland (abroad, in USA and Italy) and tries to reflect her voice in her second language with a globalized view based on her natural feminist and cultural background. Her novel is a political protest but here we just want to analyze the effect of its diasporic, postmodern and gender based narration of globalized world of literature. In spite of a rich trove of classical works (mainly poems), modern Iranian literature is less than a hundred years old. If we consider the works of Sadegh Hedayat (1903-1951) in fiction and Nima Yushij (1895-1960) in poetry as the beginning of Iran's modern literature, then we can discern two influential factors in its development. First, there is a certain level of familiarity and interaction with the latest intellectual trends and literary achievements of the West. Second, a political openness at home, which brings about a suitable atmosphere for exchange of ideas and publication of new voices.
