Abstract:
Tahmima Anam‟s trilogy, comprising A Golden Age (2007), The Good Muslim
(2011), The Bones of Grace (2016), explores the complexities of women‟s lives. Specifically,
it underlines the condition of women before, during and after the Liberation War of
Bangladesh. This research explores the unheard and unbearable sufferings of women in
Anam‟s works. Simultaneously, it highlights the heroism and accomplishments of women in
different situations and how women are treated as subalterns in society, culture, and national
boundaries. Thus, the common issue of women‟s survival under the domination of patriarchy
has been explained in the three chapters. This dissertation illuminates the fact that it is not
easy to become a woman in a postcolonial patriarchal system and women, albeit subalterns,
are indefatigable.
