Anita Nair’s “Ladies Coupe” is a great success in literature world.As a woman writer, she goes deep into the inner psyche of the depressed womenand effectively highlights the trials and tribulations faced by them in a patriarchal society. We live in a country whose value system is largely dominated by the patriarchy. It is the story of a woman’s search for freedom and their conditions in a male dominated society. The novel raises the questions whether the role of an Indian woman as a representative of other women, living under oppressive patriarchal systems in relation to cultural resistance, should be restricted only to their roles as wives, sisters and mothers. Hence, this paper tries to point out how Anita Nair projects the patriarchal set-up of the Indian family life in her novel.
