Manju Kapur is an accomplished Indian writer in English language. She usually sketches her ideas which she deeply influenced by feminist thinking and she declares herself to a feminist. She was awarded for the common wealth writer’s prize for the first book. A Married Woman is best proto-feminist novel .even if the woman educated they lack the courage and boldness to come into the patriarchal hegemony, just like all women of Manju Kapur.Even today, thousands of girls sit within the four walls of their houses and wonder why they do not have the right to choose their own lives, decide for themselves whether they want to be home makers or more marriage is still the reason for their birth. My paper is an attempt to study the changing image of women moving away from traditional portrayal of enduring self-sacrificing women towards. The silent suffer and traditional values of family and society.

Patriarchal, Self-Sacrificing, Victimization.
