Literature largely reflects life. Literary genres examine various relevant issues pertaining to social, environmental, political, gender-based and cultural problems. Considering the need of the hour, this paper makes an effort to highlight literature that tends to raise consciousness about the need to realize the current despicable situation of people living in India, particularly those who struggle to make their living by relying on agriculture as their primary means of survival. In many spheres of society including agriculture, the roles, contributions and struggles of women most often remain undervalued. They undergo a lot of unspoken struggles in their daily lives. This paper titled “Studying the Struggles of Women Farmers in Kota Neelima’s Shoes of the Dead” attempts to present the complex issues surrounding the life of farmers especially the struggles that are undergone by women in the field of agriculture.
