Empowered Minds: Feminist Consciousness and Women's Psychological Journeys in Manju Kapur's Novels

Abstract | Manju Kapur's novels provide a profound exploration of the inner lives of women contending with patriarchal domination, social expectations, and individual desires. This paper investigates how feminist awareness significantly shapes the psychological health and emotional resilience of Kapur’s female characters. Through novels like Home, The Immigrant, and Difficult Daughters, Kapur presents women who confront traditional roles, endure mental conflict, and ultimately evolve through feminist self-realization. The study underscores the emotional struggles caused by societal restrictions, family pressures, and marital subjugation, and how these challenges are transformed into paths of self-assertion and empowerment. Employing feminist consciousness as a critical lens, the research emphasizes how Kapur’s protagonists navigate repression, claim personal agency, and redefine their identities. The analysis reveals that feminist ideology becomes a tool for psychological empowerment, enabling women to resist systemic injustice and achieve autonomy. Kapur’s narratives thus serve as a critique of the sociocultural matrix of gender and mental well-being, advocating for female psychological strength and liberation. |
