| Abstract | |
| Inequalities existed in societies in different forms: race, religion, caste, gender. Gender discrimination is omnipresent in all the societies of the world. Women always get a secondary status in society which is more demeaning than insulting. Indian and Canadian societies are no exception to it. Writers of both the countries have taken up this cause in their works and have both explicitly and implicitly discussed the restricting codes of conduct designed by the patriarchal society for females. The suppressing conventional ideologies hinder the flowering of women’s personalities and encourage them to lead a passive role in a patriarchal society. | |
