દેવાંગી ભટ્ટ વર્તમાન ગુજરાતી સાહિત્યનુ એક સશક્ત નામ છે. એમની નવલકથાઓનું વિષયવસ્તુ જ નહીં, લેખનશૈલી પણ આગવી છે. ‘વાસાંસિ જીર્ણાનિ’ ની ક્રૂર જર્મન નાયિકા ઓરોરા મિલર હોય કે ‘સમાંતર’ નો તેજસ્વી નાયક રઘુનાથ બર્વે ..... દેવાંગી ભટ્ટની કલમે ગુજરાતી સાહિત્યમાં અદ્ભુત પાત્રો ઉમેર્યા છે.

દેવાંગી ભટ્ટ વીસ વર્ષ સુધી ગુજરાત યુનીવર્સીટીમાં અર્થશાસ્ત્રના પ્રાધ્યાપિકા તરીકે કાર્યરત હતા. યુનીવર્સીટીના સાંસ્કૃતિક આયોજનો માટે એમણે વર્ષો સુધી યુવાન વિદ્યાર્થીઓને તાલીમ આપી છે. પણ રંગભૂમિ હમેશા આ લેખિકા અને અભિનેત્રીનો પ્રથમ પ્રેમ રહી.

રંગભૂમિના અનેક સફળ નાટ્યપ્રયોગો સાથે આ લેખિકાનું નામ જોડાયેલું છે. પછી એ સંગીત-નાટ્ય અકાદમી દ્વારા પુરસ્કૃત કૃતિ “સમય સાક્ષી છે” હોય, કે ભવન્સની દ્વિઅંકી નાટકોની સ્પર્ધામાં લગભગ તમામ કેટેગરીમાં વિજયી બનેલું નાટક “ ચિત્રલેખા” હોય .
