    Abstract

    The resistance of women in the society is inexpressible. P.Sivakami has adopted writing as the medium of expression. Her writing proved to be a way of acquiring empathy worldwide. Women have undergone torture and humiliation throughout their life right from their childhood. Sexual and verbal abuses are on the rampage and the challenges which they are facing are unexplainable. Women crushed themselves into the oppression silently. The reason behind such situations is their unawareness of women rights. This article will analyse the feminine in Sivakami’s novels The Grip of Change and The Taming of Women. In The Grip of Change, Thangam is from the Parayar family where she is subjugated by caste and gender. She gets assaulted by her upper-caste landlord and also the Dalit leader. She uses her body to get hold of her position in the new household and thrives in getting the same. Similarly, the women in the novel undergo trauma which they recover using strength and willpower. In The Taming of Women, Anandhayi is seen getting over the oppression using her body as her tool. The women in both novels have survived the repression for the benefit of the family. This article shows how women survive the trauma and build an enthralling personalities which made them the novel's central figure.
