 ABSTRACT

The modern world associates feminism with ‘men-bashing’ and defaming men and hence has become a stereotype in itself. Contemporary writers have started a trend to break this stereotype and reinvent the concept of feminism as a movement that creates a better and equalised society for all the genders without any discrimination. This paper looks at one such novel written by two modern women about their interaction with many modern women who achieved the true essence of women empowerment. The novel Feminist Rani written by Meghna Pant and Shaili Chopra contains collection of interviews of revolutionary personalities whose path-breaking and bold opinion and work regarding gender equality can serve as a medium to encourage gender equality in a patriarchal society. The paper discuses two such well-known personalities from the fiction-Kalki Koechlin and Gul Panag- two similar yet very different women who can be considered the modern versions of empowered women and can be projected as role model for the modern women and the society.

Keywords: Feminism, Modern, Empowerment, Women, Patriarchy.
