Identity and freedom are crucial for living. Anita Desai does not give an idealized or remembered version of some social happenings only rather she writes from her own experiences and emotions about the relegated position of women. Her presentation of female characters struggling to balance out in cities or in different cultures makes them a true representative of women who present the contrast between the advanced and progressing socio-cultural scenario. The reading of her creative works is beneficial in comprehending the concept of new emerging woman pushing her limits and striving for freedom from feminine point of view in its emerging trends. The study discusses about an important social institution of marriage and underlines the changing response for this from the side of female counterpart and somewhere anticipates time for necessary modifications. Her creative sensibility is significant to find out the presentation of a woman as she is and as she is presented by the society.
