The Validity of The Novels of Shobha De and Namita Gokhale in the Changing Scenario

Shobha De and Namita Gokhale are not the newcomers in the field of writing. Both artists have been the journalists, so they know the art of writing. Through their novels they answer a very important question, “How to live?” In this male dominated society their female characters are making their own place and proving that they are not mere subordinates to men. According to Mary Wollstonecraft rather than mere ornaments to society or property to be traded in marriage, women are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men. Virginia Woolf asserted in “A Room of one’s own” that how patriarchal society prevented women from realizing their productive & creative potential, so they need freedom. But in the name of women liberation or freedom both Shobha De and Namita Gokhale don’t allow illicit or extra marital relationship.
