Feminist narratology posits that gender must and does impact the course of a narrative and, in a sense, accounts for the difference and specificity of women’s writing. Women’s writing is “different” in that it gives voice to not only the whine and the whimper, but also the growl of the underdog. The growl defines women’s protest and vindicates the feminist narratological contention of “difference.” Shauna Singh Baldwin’s What the Body Remembers serves as appropriate raw material in support of feminist narratological “difference.” This is because a woman’s narration and prioritization of events informs and inspires the telling of not only a personal story, but also the epic tale of the partition of India. The novel projects a vision of social and political history from the point of view of “the other” twice removed—first because it presents the view of woman in general, and second because it focuses on the view of the Sikh woman in particular, and thus is in a sense doubly marginalized. Also, what further brands it as exclusive womanspeak is its deliberate and self-conscious perpetuation and re-inscription of female body memory as also its unique selection of image and metaphor.
