Feminism and Sexual politics are not inherent but embedded. They mainly presented Women who were trapped in the traditional roles set by the patriarchal society. The social conditioning of girl-child, gender discrimination, and self-abnegation abet stereotyped roles. Feminism and Sexual Politics, in general, used to describe political, social and economic movements. It aims at establishing more rights and proper protection for women. It does not have a single key definition as the American radical feminist and writer Gloria Steinem’s view, the emphasis is on the intellectual background. “The purpose of feminism is to free the uniqueness of the individual and to understand that inside each of us is a unique human being who is a combination of heredity and environment.” Margaret Atwood presents the wicked warp of patriarchy which does not give women any status in Canadian society. This paper interrogates the factors responsible for the subjugation and perversion of women.
