The present book seeks the elements of dynamism and realism in the women protagonists of Manju Kapur, a well known modern feminist, and stands for her novel approach towards feminism. For her, feminism is not only about the sufferings of women in the male dominated society; rather it is a struggle of a woman against the patriarchal form of society. By this struggle, a woman wants to prove her independent existence that is free from the shadows of different responsibilities thrust upon her just for being a woman. The women characters of Manju Kapur make their own way like a river going through the rocky terrain of life.
