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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
