NOTES ON PUBLICATIONS:

Ranganayakamma has been writing since 1955 and the dates of her writings and their first publication have been the same.

Most of her works have been published either in weekly magazines, monthly magazines or daily newspapers and subsequently been published in the form of books.

She came into contact with Marxism in 1973 and began to write from that perspective since then.

She wrote 'new' prefaces to her writings of pre-1973 period, making a self-reexamination of some of her earlier ideas.

She abridged some of the reprints of her novels and suspended one of her earliest popular novels 'Krishnaveni' from publication as it may not be of much use to the readers.

She decided to suspend some short-stories from publication as they may not of any use/interest to the readers.

The Andhra Pradesh Sahitya Academy (a governmental academy for literature) gave her an award for the novel 'Balipitham' in 1965; but she began to oppose awards whether they are governmental or non-governmental after she came into contact with Marxism).

She edited and published a literary monthly magazine 'Prajaa Saahiti' (Peoples' Literature) during August 1977 and May 1979.
