Abstract

The paper will examine the condition of women in Indian society with the assistance of acclaimed novelist Anita Nair. Women have historically faced discrimination in a male-dominated society where patriarchy plays a pivotal role in sustaining the status quo. In the past, women were expected to be perfect wives and accept the injustices around them, while lacking gender awareness and being confined to their homes. However, modern women have undergone a significant shift in mindset, with the development of their own identities, self-worth, independence, and self-esteem becoming more important than patriarchal values. Nair's novels examine the transformation of women through her female characters. She presents a picture of modern life and the issues faced by women, such as sexual exploitation, gender discrimination, cultural conditioning, and the husband-wife relationship. The paper aims to highlight the resilience of female characters while exploring gender bias against women. Additionally, the paper will showcase feminist female writers who have produced literary works that benefit society. The paper will depict their struggle in a patriarchal system and the dynamics between men and women in the Indian Diaspora.
