- Abstract
With the assistance of education, Indian women who had been marginalized for centuries in most of the Indian cultural traditions due to the patriarchal set up of society, (except in a few places where women had a centralized position due to the matriarchal society - like Kerala state) are finally trying to assert their vital positions. But gaining something one had been denied for long, has never been a simple process; it raises severe protest from the opposite dominant sex. Like many other constant struggles in society, this hurdle is also unending. This paper analyses the award winning novel Venus Crossing: Twelve Stories of Transit by Kalpana Swaminathan. It presents the contemporary challenges and sexism posed against Indian Women.
