Abstract: | The present thesis entitled, "Gender Subalternity in Cartland’s The Golden Illusion" uncovers the pang of women regarding their subaltern position in the then Afro-American society. The title itself carries some flavor as it is merely an illusion for the women to believe that they are free. In order to explore the mechanisms which stand as hindrances on the way to the exploration of womens' self, subjectivity and identity, Cartland portrays women and their stereotypical images which coerce them round way. The novel explores women as ideal and docile object to entice the males. Thus, the female gender has been largely underestimated by the patriarchal society. In order to prove such exclusion of women from opportunities, rights and feedom, the research basically hovers around the concern of gender subaltern. The novel stands an an iconographic illustration in the field of feminist criticism, gender subaltern and marxist studies. |
