The present research paper is a humble attempt to find out the elements of women emancipation in the fiction ‘The God of Small Things’ by Arundhati Roy. The present work manifests several instances of women empowerment in the novel through the portrayal of women characters like Ammu, Mammachi, Baby Kochamma, Rahel and Margaret Kochamma. The women characters of this novel struggled hard to attain their freedom and independence in the society. The whole story revolves around the struggles and sufferings of the women characters like Ammu, Rahel and Mammachi etc. The novel presents many incidents of the marginalization of the women characters like Ammu, Rahel, Mammachi and Margaret Kochamma. Ammu did not surrender to the exploitation of her husband, who wanted her to sleep with his boss. She left him and came back to her home. Rahel too, struggled lonely in USA, where she had to work on various jobs to earn for her living. Mammachi did not oppose her husband directly, but she ran the pickle and jam factory in a smoother manner and got the financial independence.
