Indian society has always been a patriarchal one. The Indian writings are perfect evidences to
prove this fact. Women have always been portrayed lower to men in all aspects. Women most
often, have been described confined to a particular space where is indulged in work as a
homemaker or a mother. She has seldom been a strong character in conventional Indian works of
literature. Gradually, when feminist approach developed in Indian writings, women gained
importance, in the domestic sphere especially. Now, women were given lead roles where they
have surpassed their male counterparts. Here, they have gained control socially, economically
and politically, too. Hence, this research work deals with the feminist approach towards gender
representation and compares the old writings with the new one.
