Abstract
The chapter aims to study the issue of power and patriarchal subjugation of the Third World women who are doubly marginalised since they are caught in the clutches of native patriarchy as well as foreign masculinist-imperialist ideology, exploited in the name of culture and tradition. It aims at theorising the differences of the other' (third world) women where the dominant trope is associated with both postcolonial and women as 'margin'.
