Dr. K. Shanmuga Sundara Raj

Abstract


This research paper delves into the feminist analysis of Anita Nair’s novel Ladies Coupe. Through a comprehensive exploration of the novel’s themes, characters, and narrative structure, the paper highlights how the book challenges traditional gender norms, confronts societal expectations, and empowers women to reclaim agency and autonomy. By examining the intersections of identity, sexuality, and self-expression, the analysis aims to illuminate how Ladies Coupe contributes to the broader discourse on women’s empowerment within a patriarchal framework.
