Abstract
Undoubtedly women are oppressed in the society despite their intelligence and prudence. It is an often debated topic yet ends up with a conclusion that women are treated equally. But the painful truth is the unheard voice of many women are still echoing somewhere and it goes unnoticed and unanswered. The society is always skeptical about the emotional strength of women. Women are always meant and expected to be behind men and to take care of others forgoing all her desires. In spite of all oppression, pressure and multi-tasking women are able to move forward and in fact her love and sentiments on her near and dears make her more strong. Women are defamed as weaker sex but the truth is they have evolved more stronger. The paper attempts to highlight the women who adumbrate Self-Empowerment referring the novels of Gloria Naylor and Shobhan Bantwal.
