    Abstract

    The conviction that everyone deserves to have the same opportunities and rights is known as �feminism.� It is also a deliberate activity in support of the rights and interests of women. It is a collection of ideas and worldviews aimed at defining, advancing, and safeguarding equal political, economic, and social rights for women. The project includes working to create equitable opportunities for women in training or careers as well. A feminist promotes or defends women�s equality and rights. The purpose of the current research paper is to shed light on how marginalised and silent women are treated in patriarchal societies. It centres on examining the female character and how she defines herself in opposition to patriarchal norms and systems in Pakistani culture. Examining feminist literature in depth might help one better comprehend a woman�s place in society and her struggles. The writings of the second generation of feminist authors underwent a full transformation. They departed from the conventional depictions of compassion and selflessness and created an image of a new woman seeking individuality, independence, and space in a patriarchal societal structure. The Pakistani Bride by Bapsi Sidhwa is centred on the lives of women in a culture where men predominate and how they are denied their fundamental rights
