Throughout history, women have been misrepresented and undervalued in patriarchal societies. This is often evident in the portrayal of women in literature and mythology, where they are often depicted as mere extensions of men perpetuating a system where women are often objectified, socially excluded, and deprived of their choices. Kavita Kane through her novels Ahalya’s Awakening and The Fisher Queen Dynasty represents the mythological women through her major female characters shedding light on the struggle faced by Ahalya and Satyavati. The objective of the paper is to recognize the significance of women in society and raise awareness to empower them challenging the stereotypical impressions imposed on women. The study delves into the portrayal of women in the novels analyzing how the female characters overcome the oppression inflicted on by social expectations and the situations that create their identity issues. By examining the struggles faced by women in the era depicted in the novels, the study aims to pinpoint the societal and cultural factors that have limited women’s roles and agency. It emphasizes the need to overcome these limitations and showcases the resilience and strength displayed by the female characters as they navigate their path toward empowerment. However, the outcome of the study highlights the objectification, lack of education, social exclusion, and limited choices experienced by a woman. It also underscores how Kane’s novels delve into a deeper understanding of the journey undertaken by these characters to reclaim their identities and assert their autonomy.
