Since the women started taking part in all spheres of human activities either it is social, economic or political, the ratio of gender discrimination has started falling as today’s woman does not considers herself as a frail but they have understood that this discrimination has not been framed by the God but it is male dominated society that has imposed on them and compelled them to be submissive to grid their own axe. Now this campaign of women to break their silence is rapidly enhancing on national and international levels as they are interfering and making their presence essential in the arena of each and every field of work. Today’s woman is an emerging woman who is more dynamic and energetic coming in the front with full preparation for searching their identity. That is why all the social improvers, performers and detractors have sharpened their pen to pen woman’s predicament and dilemma. Indeed, numbers of feminist writers are growing day by day awakening the woman towards her individuality, her icon and her aspires and ideas in the society. Anita Desai is also one among them who started out the work for the welfare of middle class woman. Desai officially launched her career as a novelist in 1963 with the British publication of Cry, the Peacock.
