Title A name given to the resource Patriarchy and Wifehood: A Feminist Reading of One Part Woman and Singarevva and the Palace Description An account of the resource Marriage is a socially approved relationship between a man and a woman that binds each other into a permanent, official relation of husband and wife. In a patriarchal culture, the husbands personify dominance and liberty, whereas the wives are expected to be the epitome of fidelity, fecundity and chastity. In the Indian context, the intense devotion of wives towards their husbands defines married women as pativratas. The present study intends to analyze the various aspects that contribute to and shape the formation of the identity of a wife in a marital space through Ponna and Singarevva, the female protagonists of the novels One Part Woman and Singarevva and the Palace, respectively. The paper demonstrates how these female protagonists identity as wives gets suppressed over a period of time and how they succeed in reconstructing their identities, sailing against all odds stacked against them. The paper views these issues through the feminist theoretical lens. 2024 IUP. All Rights Reserved. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Divya R.; Sharmila N.
