Women's emancipation may be the most overused literary term of the modern period. Since the spread of knowledge and education, women's roles and circumstances have evolved dramatically. Despite India's reputation as a conservative country, its women have shown remarkable resilience in the face of patriarchal norms as they strive to make their mark and carve out a place for themselves in the world. We meet strong female protagonists in Manju Kapur's books who have to fight just as hard as their male counterparts to get where they need to go. In this research, we examine the trauma that can occur once a marriage has ended. Manju Kapur is one of the most prominent living Indian women writers. She chronicles the plight of educated, upper-middle-class wives torn between marital obligation and sexual desire.
