        abstract = {Feminism is a movement that aims to establish and achieve equal rights for women in all spheres of life: political, social, and economic. Feminism focuses on the subordinate status of women and strives towards equality and freedom. In the West, a group of women combatants exercised their right to political involvement through the Feminist Movement. The movement metamorphosed the attitude and perception of the world. It provided a better understanding of women’s issues and rights and endeavoured to bring them forward because they had been marginalized for so long. The underprivileged were not given a chance to voice their issues, which were either ignored or neglected. Thus, feminist perspectives surfaced with the realization that there was a universe of experience that was crucial to history. Published essays and novels of women writers in English proliferated in modern India during the latter half of the twentieth century. The writings of Bapsi Sidhwa scooped up several note-worthy honors and are now widely read across several countries. Water brings home loudly and explicitly that rigid religious traditions and gender inequities can stain reputation and warp lives irrevocably. It also raises relevance to the personal lives of women in patriarchal societies, haunted even romantically by forbidden fears.},
