Ever since the dawn of civilization, there has been a struggle to emancipate women from male oppression. In the past, the work by the women authors has always been undervalued because of some patriarchal assumptions. Feminism is an expression of resentment at the unjust treatment meted out to any woman. In literature, it refers to any mode that approaches a text with foremost concern for the nature of female experience7. The inequalities against which the feminist have raised their voice of protest-legal, economics and social restriction on the basic rights of woman can be traced throughout history The paper is an attempt to examine the feminist perspective in That Long Silence of Shashi Deshpande. The male superiority signifies the patriarchal culture in the family relationship between Jaya and her husband Mohan. The result of marriage yield into frustration, discard and disharmony as there was absence of love with only sex. Jaya was compelled to keep silence and surrender and adopt socio-psychic nature. The traditional, institution of Indian family is dwindling as the familial relationship does not have gender equality [3, 8]. Male member of the family is entitled to all sorts of comforts and excuses whereas female member has to sacrifice her life keeping silence, suppressing emotions and desires. The mechanical and artificial love is significant where gender discrimination exists in family environment. Jaya could break her silence after the support of Kamat but decides to keep silence and surrender. Violence is not the solution to the problems, to bring a change one has to wait and to be optimistic12. Feminist movement advocates the equal rights and equal opportunities for women. The true spirit of feminism is into look at women and men as human beings. There should not be a gender bias or discrimination in familial and social life. Establishing gender justice and gender equity is the key aspects of feminist movement.
