  The problem with child narrators, however, becomes all the more pressing when the narrator is a girl child, as she has to navigate a complex and hostile terrain: she has to speak her truth and claim her authority as a child and as a woman in a culture that often ignores and marginalises both. She has to find her voice and identity in a narrative space that is influenced by the standards and desires of adult and male readers. She has to defy the labels and assumptions that are imposed on her gender and age and confront the powerful discourses that try to limit and shape her The question, then, that can be raised, is does the narrator’s (since the narrator in selected novels is a girl child) gender have any bearing on the text? Could the primacy of gender be such that it wields influence within the textual fabric itself? To what extent does the gender of the narrator infuse the narrative with layers of meaning, context, and interpretation that transcend the words on the page?. To recognize this specificity…. in recent years has led many narratologists to examine the significance of the gender of narrator on its narration. Susan Lanser, for example (1986), in her…..,   argues that gender is a category “that is relevant to the analysis of the structural features of narratives.” In order to understand the true “nature, form, and functioning of narrative” (Lanser) it is imperative to explore the implications of “sex, gender and/or sexuality” (Lanser) of the narrator or narrative. She claims that texts with, I would say girl child narrators, are more “polyphones”; it comprises different strands which need to be “identified” and “disentangled,” being multi-layered, and with different levels of meaning.  Similarly Carson and others maintain that “While individuals may differ on the extent to which biological sex constructs identity, a broad consensus exists around the principle that gender inflects our material and conceptual realities in myriad tangible and intangible ways." Even Eve Sedgwick, Nancy miller, among others, have looked into the ways gender colours the production of story in narrative. To study the narrator’s testimonial and interpretative functions it becomes necessary to look at the narrator’s utterances within a context. Nothing prohibits us, as Warhol does, from asking, among other questions that what part of narrators gender plays in the kinds of interventions he or she uses in narrative. Such presumptuousness can emphasize essential differences between the sexes- between their psychological natures, or between their operation as subjects or signifies in history and philosophy. In other wors, both the text and analysis thereof cannot be ‘neutral’ but may be ideologically loaded in some way (Kreiswirth, 2000: 296)
