The Image Flux of Women in Manju Kapoor’s Novels

Abstract

Women are an essential part of human society, but, unfortunately, some cultures disregard this significant fact. Although the position of women varies from culture to culture, women have never been considered equal to man. The present paper aims to scrutinize the works of Manju Kapoor to explore her treatment of the image flux of woman in the modern and the postmodern era. Tradition, transition and modernity are the stages through which Kapoor’s women pass. She is the epitome of the ‘new’ woman who is aware of her quest, identity and individuality.
