Abstract
The paper emphases on the fight of women who aspire to be self-governing, achieve different position for herself and to get education, freedom and identity in the society. ManjuKapur's A Married Woman highlights Astha's fight and existence as a new woman maintaining on liberation from patriarchal social arrangement and thinking. She appears as a free woman, destroying the chain of tradition. Kapur thus represents the woman from different angle by placing her in the midst of socio-economic struggles. During her life she preserves a long silence to domestic violence and traditional values that is approved from one generation to another. But, nowadays, she has released her eyes wide enough to see the world through her own viewpoints and raises her voice in the world to protest against the male dominant society. She is a symbol of backgrounds which is nourished with traditional values to become a sacrificial daughter, a wife and a mother. She knows her privileges in life and is aware of the balance she has to continue in life.
