The notion of Indian literature in English has been expanded by the contributions of a variety of different female authors. books written by Kamala Markandaya, which aims to investigate hitherto unexamined facets of her female characters. It exhibits the shift in women's identity, emphasises the new image via an analysis into her works, and ultimately demonstrates Markandaya's feminist moral concern through an in-depth research of sexual and family connection dynamics. Her ladies do not engage in acts of defiance, but they do succeed in bringing the society around to the idea that they are "persons," not only "possessions."
