Anita Nair is a well-known postmodern Indian English novelist. Her novel Ladies Coupe explores the experience of different women by journey. The ideas of fraternity, equality and liberty along with the liberal philosophy of individualism made women conscious of the fact that it is the social process that determines her life. The present paper aims to focus on the theme of women subjugation in Anita Nair's Ladies Coupe. The main purpose of the present research is to bring to the readers, an idea on the Indian society which still demands women to play a subservient role in the male dominant society. This contributed to an intense dislike among women to these so called customs and tradition. Ladies Coupe has the voice of women in contemporary post-colonial India. The character of the present novel are women from different classes who share their story to each other how they exploited in male dominated society during their journey in Ladies Coupe. It is the journey of self-discovery. Nair portrays her female characters not just as meek sufferers but as strong women who struggle for their individuality, freedom from subjugation.
