Women comprise nearly half of the population in India. The status of women in India has witnessed many ups and downs.

In this study, we have discussed the feminist writing and feminist writers in India, feminine writers and their composition, sense of women in Indian novels in English, progress, and involvement of women writers in the Indian English novel, the progress of women in literature, works of Shashi Deshpande which are concluded that the number of Indian female novelists is increasing at an astronomical rate and the study by Shashi Deshpande is about the search for a feminine identity. Man-woman relationships are complicated, especially when they are married, and the pain of a troubled childhood just adds to that complexity.Women, Shashi Deshpande, Progress, Literature, Work
