- Authors

- Abstract
Change is the law of nature. Anita Nair's novels Ladies Coupe (2001) and Mistress (2005) project women's subjugation and their suppression in contemporary Indian society. It is a matter of great regret that even in this era of the twenty-first century; women are not given the freedom that men enjoy in the male dominated society. The objective of the research paper is to study the feminist literature and to examine the displacement of women through their humiliation. The aim of the research paper is to delineate how the women are no longer in the mood to bear this burden of traditionalism. They are in a mood of revolt against this patriarchal social set up of society. They don't want to follow the trodden path, but know very well how to make their own path. Social, cultural and religious aspects of traditional society are challenged which cause the change in the norms of social institutions. Through these changes, clash between old and new ideologies is clearly noticeable in the research paper.
