Abstract	Kamala Das and Banu Mushtaq are the two prominent female writers in modern Indian literature.Both of them have tried to present the position of women in the family and society- their dreams and frustrations, their desires and sufferings,and their hopes and despairs.Kamala Das mainly explores the troubles of women in the male dominated Hindu family and society while Banu Mustaq explains the severe contrains prevailing in the Muslim family and society faced by the women .Women are treated merely as sub-human entities in the male dominated society;they are bereft of basic human amenities. Both of them have been relentlessly trying to describe the unbearable tortures borne by the women in the world. As social activists and creative writers they intend to unearth the status of women the family and society and explain their vehement protest against the inhuman injustice to women.
