Anita Nair's Ladies Coupe as a Voice to Appreciate a Voyage of Self-consciousness Kaur Ranjit Head of Department Department of English, St. Xavier's College, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Email id: ranjitkaurjaipur@gmail.com Online published on 21 April, 2018. Abstract In Postcolonial Indian English writing women, issues have been the major concern of the creative writers. The question of women's identity has acquired centrality in literature and life. Therefore, the issues concerning women are discussed and debated at various platforms. Unhesitatingly, it is accepted that women writers have added a new dimension to the Postcolonial Indian English writing. Their feminine sensibility made them capable of emerging a new ground in Indian English fiction making an approach from the external to the internal world. They created their own world filled with extraordinary sensitive beings. The journey of Indian English women writers gradually reached to such a destination where arose the concept of a ‘new woman’ and ‘changed woman’ out of her viewpoint towards man, society and life. The ‘new woman’ sets on an independent journey to discover ‘herself’. Postcolonial women writers have projected this ‘new woman’ in the writings with the help of new symbols and images. The term ‘changed women’ is used for self-awakening of women and for the realisation of her place and position in the orbit of her family and in the society. This paper is an attempt to see Anita Nair's novel Ladies Coupe as a voice to appreciate a voyage of self-consciousness to the realisation of self and ultimately the reaffirmation of female identity against male domination. This paper also focuses on ‘Can a woman stay single and be happy, or does a woman need a man to feel complete?’. Top Keywords Changed woman, Feminine sensibility, Feminist literary criticism, Gynocriticism, Phallocentrism, Postcolonial, Self-awakening. Top | |
