Biography
Rajam Krishnan was born in Musiri, Tiruchirapalli district. She had very little formal education and appears to have been largely an autodidact.[2]
She started publishing in her twenties.
She is known for writing well researched social novels on the lives of people usually not depicted in modern Tamil literature - poor farmers, salt pan workers, small-time criminals, jungle dacoits, under-trial prisoners and female labourers.
She has written more than 80 books.[3] Her works include forty novels, twenty plays, two biographies and several short stories.
