Abstract
The
current paper is an expansion and comparative study of women perturbs
representation via the text of two novels by two different women authors during
the recent feminist movement. Angela Carter’s and Margaret Atwood’s novels
background and text represented within its social, cultural and historical
context during second wave of feminism, as it probed. It scrutinizes how this
hand-picked pair of woman authors conducted feminism with woman identity in
their novels and woman authors’ maneuvers their skills thematic exertion
strives to help contemporary world to interpret the women oppression physically
and mentally under the philosophy of Simone De Bevoir. The crux of the study
was that whether they remained eminent and noteworthy in portraying woman
oppression in contemporary society or they were on the same bank of the river
during their depiction of the sexes. The pivot of this research is through the
ideology of Simone de Beauvoir, “One is not born, but rather becomes a Woman”.
Why and in what way women are oppressed in a patriarchal society. Both men and
women should enjoy their status as human beings and must abide by their duties.
Women should be judged on the basis of humanity rather than womanhood.
