Abstract
The paper “Gauri in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland: An Assertion of Feminist Self in the Diasporic Third Space” attempts to chart the ways in which the feminist avowal of Gauri to find a space for herself in this world found manifestation in the land of the US where she could cut herself off from her familial trappings to give vent to her academic career as a Neo-Marxist philosopher. The novel celebrates the ‘third space’ – the ‘in-betweenness’ – which allows women to explore themselves and cut off from the patriarchal ties to realize their own selves. The Lowland is thus not just about diasporic nostalgia, but about the celebration of that feminist spirit that manifests itself in celebration of the ‘new female’ that Gauri is represented as.
