Abstract
This paper explores the challenges faced by Bangladeshi women based on gender. The aim of this study to explore those points and revisit all types of discrimination and inequality deeply rooted in Bangladeshi culture. Bangladesh is an orthodox and conservative country, where women are treated as a means of entertainment. Women are counted as house cat, whose only work is to give birth to babies and suffer for family. Women always grow up with feelings of insecurity for various reasons. They feel embarrassed when speaking in public, while purchasing something, or in a social setting. If a woman dares to question male authority, she may face punishment in some or the other way. She could be slapped, or if not physically punished, she might impose self-punishment in some way. Traditional beliefs dictate that women should not raise their voices against male supremacy. As a result of this oppression, a protagonist character, Nazneen, fights against male dominance and to free herself from social boundaries. Monica Ali, portrays the picture of Bangladesh in the light if Nazneen. How a common Bangladeshi woman rebels against male supremacy and becomes an independent woman.
