Abstract-Rita Choudhury, a prominent figure in contemporary Indian literature, stands as a beacon of feminist thought and advocacy. Choudhury's literary journey began in the late 20th century, a period of burgeoning feminist thought in India. Her works, rich with the cultural and socio-political nuances of Assam, delve deeply into the experiences of women, challenging entrenched patriarchal norms and advocating for gender equality. A feminist perspective typically refers to a viewpoint or analysis that focuses on understanding and addressing the experiences, challenges, and rights of women within society. It emphasizes the advocacy for gender equality, the dismantling of patriarchal structures and norms that marginalize women, and the promotion of women's empowerment in various aspects of life, including social, political, economic, and cultural spheres. The novel portrays a society where male dominance is normalized and women are expected to conform. From the beginning, put`s life is shaped by her family`s disappointment at her birth: `she was born because they hoped for a son.``
