N2  - Feminism relates tothe belief that women should have the same the same social, economic andpolitical rights. It questions the preconceived assumption about the roles thatmen and women should have in life, as they mostly work to the advantage of menover women.  Feminism brings to scrutinythe portrayals of gender roles, which tend to impose social norms, customs,connections, laws and expectations on the grounds of gender discrimination .Itcan be considered as a movement which is fought against women oppression underpatriarchy. It recognizes that having pleasure is central part of life and doesnot discourage woman who enjoys it without any sense of guilt or regret.Although it started as a mere ‘consciousness’, has now assumed a more emphaticvoice. The new brave woman embraces beauty and power of sex to achieve presentgoals. They talk of freedom in sex as a human right; make all efforts to lookglamorous and attractive, different from the traditional women. Many Indianwriters in English have talked of this freedom and its manifestations. Theypresent the issues regarding women in such a way that they lay bare the innerlandscape of a woman’s intimate experience that testifies her existence. It isthrough various other female characters that some significant issues pertaininggender bias, marriage, displacement, male-dominance and marginalization, willbe resolved in the present article. The study seeks to explore and explicatethe overall images of women and their lifestyle, from the Indian point of view.The emphasis is on the new emerging woman of modern cosmopolitan India, who isno more a puppet in the hands of a man.
