I carefully read Ms S Ramola Naidu’s Ph. D. dissertation entitled “Culture, History, Politics: The Representation of Women in the American War Novels of Ernest Hemingway, e. e. cummings, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut Jr.” submitted at Osmania University, Hyderabad.

Chapter I, “Fragmentation of Society: The Enormous Room,” shows that women are not the weaker sex but are the pillars that support family and society.
