Dr. S. Senthilkumari

Abstract


Commercial surrogacy is a hotly debated topic in feminist literature particularly when surrogacy occurs in underdeveloped nations and when it is carried out by local women for wealthy foreign individuals. Surrogate mothers have acknowledged that surrogacy is linked to extramarital relationships and they have encountered challenges and social stigma. This paper aims at probing into the pain, guilt and frustration of a surrogate in A House for Happy Mothers.


Keywords
