About the Book:

This novel presents the complete perception of a woman in a true sense. Written by a revolutionary, pensive author in 1950, it remains both interesting and relevant even today. The novel, though left incomplete, finds its own resolution through the awakening of the mind, highlighting themes of societal roles and the challenges women face. Initially seen as a weak creative writer, the author demonstrates his deep sensitivity and advocacy for women’s empowerment.

The novel questions why a woman, even when educated, is still often molded by society and expected to remain a puppet in her husband’s hands. It challenges the societal view of women, urging that she is more than just a woman, but a mind with freedom, deserving of equality and respect. The author was ahead of his time, believing that modern women should not only be aware of the law but should be empowered to take control of their lives and futures. The questions raised in the book—why women are still perceived as inferior even today—remain as relevant in the 21st century as they were when first written.
