Abstract
The paper illustrateshowan avant-garde woman, named Anil Tissera,has been made to live ‘exclusively’ veiled and put to marginal position from our mainstream society by the patriarchy. Men, despotic in nature, don’t stop themselves here; they further labelher as prosaic in thought and poignant in nature. She is sometimes characterized as a reverent one in her house or sometimes as a source of all evil and destructions. Due to such reasons, her social status always remains in the state of constant fluidity, and she is looked down upon as an inferior being and a cause of hindrance to social progress.She raises her voice against such socialstigmasof sexismand successfully completes her education abroadin order to create her self-identity in male-dominated society.So, the paper elaborates how Anil, despite being a woman, overcomes allsuch social coercions and rejects stereotypingof women. The paper further elucidates how Anil, who stands for all other oppressed women,struggles hard for women’s social, political, and economic rights to make the world a better place to live in.
