In the current world of interdisciplinary studies it is impossible to just adhere to literature and literary concepts. In the pursuit of knowledge it becomes necessary to cross boundaries. In this article the formation of subjectivity becomes the integral part. Traditionally, the Indian women writers did not receive the privilege given to the male bastion. The reason for this is that most women writers wrote about the closed domestic sphere and the experiences confined to it. Consequently, the thought arose in the minds of the readers that women were simply meek, subjugated and could not traverse their thought beyond the four walls of their homes compared to their male counterparts. Today women have become more conscious regarding their position and role in society and are trying to redefine the parameters. Contemporary women writers have portrayed women within the domestic sphere and beyond it.

Key words: male counterparts, subjectivity, women writers, society, self-discovery, redefine parameters
