Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study new women in the novel of Namita Gokhale, so taking into account the complexity of life, different histories, cultures, and different structures of values, the woman’s question, despite basic solidarity, needs, to be tackled about the socio-cultural situation. Women under the patriarchal pressure and control are subjected to too much more burns and social ostracism. They are more discriminated against and are biased instead of their sex. The lives women live and struggle under the oppressive mechanism of a closed society are reflected in the writings of Namita Gokhale. We see the budding of new women in Namita Gokhale’s heroines, who do not want to be rubber dolls for others to move as they will? Defying patriarchal notions that enforce women towards domesticity, they assert their individuality and hope self-reliance through education. They nurture the desire to be independent and lead lives of their own. They want to shoulder responsibilities that go beyond a husband and children. They are not silent rebels but are bold, outspoken, determined, and action-oriented.
期刊介绍:
English is an internationally known journal of literary criticism, published on behalf of The English Association. Each issue contains essays on major works of English literature or on topics of general literary interest, aimed at readers within universities and colleges and presented in a lively and engaging style. There is a substantial review section, in which reviewers have space to situate a book within the context of recent developments in its field, and present a detailed argument. English is unusual among academic journals in publishing original poetry. This policy embodies the view that the critical and creative functions, often so widely separated in the teaching of English, can co-exist and cross-fertilise each other.
