In this paper, I have focused on feminist investigation of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. The Feminist movements have fought and continue to campaign for women's civil rights including to hold public office, right to vote, right to work, right to equal wages, equal pay, to own property, right to receive education, to have equal rights within marriage and to have maternity leave. Feminists have also worked to make sure access to legal abortions, the social integration and right to protect women and girls from rape, sexual harassment, and marital violence. Changes in costume and acceptable physical activity have repeatedly has been part of feminist movements. The important feminists are Simone de Beauvoir, Alice Walker, Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Plath, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Kate Millett, Angela Carter and so on. Basically feminist works covers a broad range of written expression but what they all have in common is a focus on the female equality, her experience and how it has to be changes, expands, and evolves. Henrik Ibsen is one of the great writers. He focused on women’s issues in his works. We can see that most of the works of Ibsen focus on social issues, economic issues and women’s issues. In A Doll’s House also focuses on these types of elements in drama. We can observe that how Nora is facing so many problems due to the patriarchal society. Obsen also focused on women mental condition and what’s her inner expectation from life and all other things. The stereotype system is also practising in the society. He avoids that also. He covers mainly women issues in A Doll’s House. Particularly its focus is on women's status in the society and their behaviour of patriarchal thinking, the lack of true love and affection, value and respect for a wife by a husband and the lack of inequality, injustice and dignity in the treatment of women in the society.
