Abstract

Advancement of women becomes true when she establishes her state in the society as an independent
intellectual woman. The nucleus of all concepts and ideas about women is that she must be an
independent being to decide about her life and to sustain it. The contemporary writers reclaim the lives
of remarkable women, who are very progressive and self- determination and active participants in the
social life of the past. The genre, historical fiction, is a platform to recreate such persons, who create
their own destiny. Hilary Mantel’s historical novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies represent the
lifestyle, attitude and perceptions of Tudor England. It portrays not only the rise and fall of Thomas
Cromwell, the chief minister to the king Henry VIII but also depicts the life and muddle of the royal
women like Catherine Morgan, Anne Boyle, and Jane during the Tudor era. This paper probes into the
struggles and hardships they face to ascertain their presence in public life due to socialisation, so called
socialisation created by the patriarchal society.
