Abstract
This paper explores The Folded Earth’s depiction of women and their nature in the patriarchal society. The women characters in the novel reveal the struggle and oppression on women and the denial of human rights for women. Anuradha Roy has deftly characterized the life of Indian women in the present world. She has done a stupendous job by depicting the life of Maya, the protagonist, a “sick-thin-coffee-coffee-coloured” Hindu girl.
