Jai Nimbkar is a modern Indian woman writer who shows an incipient streak in portraying women characters which reflects her individual stance on man-woman relationship. She presents her argument that woman has been given a demeaning position in the patriarchal society. Her protagonists are vibrant and many a times radical. The protagonists of her short stories “The Childless One”, “Turning Points”, “The Huntress” and “The Distorted Heaven” from her collection of short stories The Phantom Bird.
Woman is always expected to restrict herself. The writer expected the themes that depict the modern woman’s right to reject the life prescribed by a male-dominated, anti-individual society.
