Chile is a country where patriarchy has dominated every aspect of life, from relationships, gender roles to the use of language and also, the balance of power between the two sexes. As a result, when access to power has been revoked, women have resorted to silence. However, silence is often the initiation of women struggle for social change and later becomes a vehicle of self- expression. Isabel Allende in her debut novel, The House of the Spirits, gives voice to the silenced marginalized subjects (women) of the patriarchal society of her country. She highlights the various social inequalities and the political instabilities of her country Chile and in this process brings forth fresh disposition to historical facts, as history is being told from Alba’s viewpoint, one of the major narrators of the novel. The paper attempts to analyse by an integrated feminist approach, the emancipation of the ignored voices in the novel and how Allende abridges women’s silence to empowerment by mingling the real and the magical.
