Parijat (1937-1993), one of
the greatest women writers of Nepal, was born in the hills of Darjeeling. She
has written several novels, stories, essays and poems. Her most celebrated
publication is Shiris Ko Phool (The
Blue Mimosa), which has received both national and international recognition.
In 1965, this novel was awarded Madan Puraskar, the highest literary honour of
Nepal. Similarly it got international acclaim after some foreign colleges and
universities adopted it in their literature curriculum. Parijat raises women's
voice in her works. She has clearly expressed her views against gender
discrimination practiced in a patriarchial society.
