Literature essentially brings up the entire body of writings that engage with particular themes, ideas or social realities. It possesses the ability to sway the thoughts and sentiments of people and functions as a significant medium of mass communication. The Indian literature has played a creditable role in generating awareness and awakening consciousness amid women. Many eminent scholars have contributed writings in diverse styles to give vent to their feeling of anguish and disquiet about the overbearing conditions faced by Indian women due to Patriarchy and rigid gender norms entrenched in Brahmanical Hinduism but the emphasis of this paper is on one such literary stalwart Pandita Ramabai. An outstanding scholar of Sanskrit and fearless advocate of women rights, she gave voice to women when they were largely unheard and marginalized. The paper attempts to gauge the ideas and concerns articulated by Ramabai through her writings and the analyse the assessment of literati regarding her intellectual contributions.
