This paper explores the sufferings of women in the post-modern era in general and Austrian women in particular. It deals with the efforts of Feminism to alter the women oppression in the entire world and to ask for her equal rights in all the domains. Feminism has generated an ongoing debate all over the world.It attempts to give a solution to the sufferings of women and to put an end to the injustice against women. It was the voice of women at times they could not speak or to express their feelings and wishes. Women activists were able to make woman believe her as an important creature the same as man. The society is equal to woman throughout her role in all fields as well as at home like economy, society, politics and Education. Because, she is a human being who has the right to live, to think, to marry, to vote, to say no when she wants. Her blood is red and her sweat tastes salty as man. The Austrian feminist and writer Elfriede Jelinek has been a controversial in her home country. Having the ‘extraordinary linguistic zeal’ of her novel ‘Lust’ reveals the absurdity of the society’s clichés and its subjugating power. Writing in a powerful, imagistic, shocking voice Elfriede is a polemicist in the style of compatriots. She has been condemned for her relentlessly critical stance toward Austria’s postwar politics and the mentality of its people. As a member of the Austrian Communist Party for about 15 years, she has tirelessly demonstrated how the realms of economy, sexuality and racism form a brutal patriarchal whole. Hence, the novelist insists on the active consent and toxic masculinity. It can be reinstated that men and women are always equal.
