Abstract
The New Woman is a modern term that opens its door ajar for penetration of those women, who have been acquiring the submissive position throughout the decade, to transform themselves anew. This 19th century’s ray of hope radiates everywhere and Indian culture is not also exceptional. The idea of the modern women receives its content into the pens of Indo-Anglican writers and the purpose of this paper is to present this concept of new woman through the poem of Toru Dutt.
