This study examines the portrayal of cultural conflicts and their impact on feminist ideals in Bharati Mukherjee’s novels, particularly focusing on Wife and The Tiger’s Daughter. Through a qualitative textual analysis informed by feminist theory and cultural studies, the research delves into how encounters between Eastern traditions and Western feminist values shape the identities and choices of Mukherjee’s characters. By analysing key passages and the characters' navigation of cultural values, the study reveals how these individuals negotiate and reconcile their cultural heritage with emergent feminist consciousness. The findings illuminate the complex interplay between tradition and feminist aspirations, highlighting the evolution of feminist ideals in the context of cultural conflict.
