Abstract

Feminism has moved away from the stereotypes and it has sought to mend fences between the cultures and initiate a dialogue of reproachment across all levels to act as a binder among ethnical divisions. This paper is an attempt to postulate the ideological divisions among two women characters who have been put under the test coupled with the loaded identities of culture and race. Gender can be defined in many different ways and the concept is widely used but Harriet Bradley gives us an applicable definition from her book Fractured identities which focuses on the relation between women and men as, “Gender refers to the varied and complex arrangements between men and women, encompassing the organisation of reproduction, the sexual divisions of labour and cultural definitions of femininity and masculinity” (205).
