Gender Discrimination is a widespread social rights violation that takes many forms, involving physically harassment, pregnancy prejudice, and different pay for women who do the same jobs as men. Most of the communities are male-dominated where a female is only presumed to be a mother, a perfect wife and a home-made with various positions associated to her in the household. As a spouse and mother, her duty of sacrifice, compassion and acquiescence are her necessary characteristics. Similarly, her adored integrity of compromise bring her life devoted and acquiescent. But this personal self of a female has very limited distinction in the patriarchal community and it governs to her self-effacement. Females form an indivisible part of human race which not only rules in the important procedure of facilitating the future ages of society but also play extremely significant positions in each step of life. In spite of playing very substantial parts within as well as external their residences, they are always regarded as “the weaker sex” who is secondary to their man companions. In all part of the world, females at times encounter a familiar difficulty that is of Gender Discrimination. No matter what their society or environment will be, they all are generally pertained to as “weak” and minor to their man companions. In this article, the researcher will make sincere endeavors to investigate this suffering of gender discrimination which is undergone by women through the world. In several cases, a woman, no matter of what class, religion or area she is, but she has to tolerate the same trauma of being segregated. In most of the rigid communities females in all categories have sophisticated very poor significance, oppression and lead towards their exploitation. Women have been enslaved by males in every community. Woman in the entire world like in Asia, Europe or the Middle East is incapable to have any impact over the political, religious or cultural existences of her community. She neither acquires any estate nor inherits it, but she herself is treated as a commodity. In ancient times, if a man physically harasses a female, the penalty was conveyed to his wife by passing her to over to the rapist’s husband. In ancient Greece, females had no political rights and couldn’t inherit any property either. They were even forbidden to leave homes after dark. Similarly, in most of parts of the world women were incapable to take part in any civil or political occasion. The main motive to write this research paper is to analyse the theme of gender discrimination in The Awakening by Kate Chopin and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
