Abstract

Anita Desai's selected novels serve as a lens through which to examine the role of women in Indian society. It illustrates the significance of women in a variety of contexts, including the home, the community, and the workplace. In addition, women in society confront a number of other moral and social responsibilities. There is a wide range of ladies to choose from in about every facet of women's lives at Desai. There are many different groups of women in India, and her work shows how they are all intertwined with each other. Rather than escaping the traditional world of Indian women, she interacts with the middle-class Indian lady, who represents the vast majority of Indian women. She has written extensively on the subject of contemporary Indian women and the difficulties they face. Indian women's roles and responsibilities to themselves and society have also been examined by her. They have a strong sense of self-consciousness. A wife and a mother will not suffice for them; they seek more. A good effort has been made to compare and contrast the quest for the identification of female characters in Anita Desai's works.
