Her first novel The Thousand Faces of Night (1992) won the prestigious Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for the best first novel in 1993. Her novels portray the struggle of female characters for their identities which are challenged by caste, religion, violence and nationality. The present paper is an attempt to examine and review the way Hariharan’s women characters encounter the orthodox roles and identity forced on them by the male-dominated social order as they try to rebuild a modern self-identity for them. For this purpose, her novels <em>The Thousand Faces of Night</em>,<em> The Ghost of Vasu Master </em>and <em>Fugitive Histories </em>are thoroughly studied in this paper.<strong> </strong></p>}, number={4}, journal={The Creative Launcher}, author={Dr. Leena V.
