Abstract [English]

Among the women writers who have played a significant role in establishing feminist discourse as a powerful intellectual trend in Hindi fiction, Mannu Bhandari's name is particularly noteworthy. She not only gave voice to women's mental, social, and familial struggles in her literature but also presented women as independent and self-aware individuals. This research paper provides an in-depth analysis of Mannu Bhandari's feminist perspective through her major works of fiction, focusing on themes such as female identity, self-reliance, social realities, family conflicts, and the complexities of male-female relationships.
