Gender discrimination is the prominent issue in India which leads to the psychological and emotional trauma in women. Preeti Shenoy is an eminent female writer of the time for her significant contribution to the literature. She succusses fully depicts the life of modern Indian women in her works in a very realistic manner. Her stories seem to be the true reflection of the patriarchal Indian society which deals with the issues like gender discrimination, subjugation of women and their voices, patriarchal domination, psychological trauma and inner pain that her women characters confront. She uses very simple and illustrated language to narrate the plight of the women in India. Her novel The Rule Breakers (2018) beautifully tells the journey of women from various social backgrounds who experience tranny in various ways. This paper aims to analyse the psychological trauma suffered by these women namely Veda (protagonist), Kamala (Veda’s mother) and Shakubai (a maid) through the textual analysis of the novel. The female characters selected for the study comes from different class, social background and age group. Thus, their needs (both psychological and physical), responsibilities, and way of living are different. The purpose of the study is to determine the reactions of these women to the trauma and whether the experiences and traumas of women who belong to different social classes and age groups are same or different. The paper looks into the various dimensions of the novel from the feminist perspective and examines the suppression of women and their mental health.
