Abstract
Sarah Joseph is established among Malayalam writers as a proponent of feminist literature. Sarah Joseph’s novels like ‘Aalahayude Penmakal’, ‘Maattathy’,’Uthappu’ depict the problems faced by women in the society. Sarah Joseph’s ‘Aalahayude Penmakkal’ is not only the story of a place or family, but also the story of daughters. It is the story of woman’s suffering, courage, confrontation and pain. Throughout their entire life, life becomes a question mark. The snow peas plant which trails on sorrows is a constant presence in this novel. The novel starts by portraying the picture of snow peas plant with blue and violet flowers and leaves shining with green colour. The snow peas pent was the life of the women of Kokanchira. It survived by sprouting, fading, and wilting. Finally when it falls down by the flood caused by the downpour which swallowed Kokanchira, the lives of those women also end in that disaster.
