The present research attempts to examine
the study of women’s subaltern status in the parochial society and their
constant struggle in their living spaces to achieve place and space in
production spaces. Jaishree Misra is one of the contemporary Indian female
novelists who is widely acclaimed not only in India but also in the world for
her fictional narratives. She emerges on the literary horizon among the modern
women novelists and focuses on the spatial contemporary issues such as feminine
sensibilities, feminine spaces, female psyche, women’s subordination,
subjugation, marginalization, identity, gender issues, cultural conflict,
alienation, the complexities of human relationships, social intricacies and
inhibitions, cruelty and violence towards the marital issues, the problem of
rehabilitation after divorce and place-space paradigm, are the major themes of
her writing. She uses the socio-cultural and spatial geographical settings to
provide her female protagonists more space-more physical space, psychological
space, cultural space, social space, familial space, and a better platform to
move out and ahead to live, and to think freely in their spatial world. Also,
the paper focuses on the oppressive patriarchal spaces and culture of Kerala
where women are exploited, suppressed, subjugated, and subordinated in various
stages and are disallowed to occupy their spaces. Further, the researcher
brings to light as how a female subjects of Jaishree Misra attempt to find spaces
for themselves in the act of their revolt against the spatial fixities
compelled by the socio-cultural cryptograph of parochial normative hegemonies.
