Abstract
This paper proposed to explore R.K Narayan’s effort to redefine the status of women in the society. In the novel ‘The Guide’, Rosie, the heroine, made sensations through her quest for identity. I would like to apply the theories of Radical cultural feminism to demonstrate Rosie’s emersion from a degenerated ‘public woman’ to a respected classical dancer. Her conviction to strength, her economic stability prompted her to break marital bondage. Rosie’s decision to fight against sexism is the impact of her thought ‘Consciousness Raising’ which is the key concept of Radical Feminism.
