Abstract: The paper focuses on aspects of the issues that are relevant to contemporary Nepali women and their status within society. Gender or sociocultural inequities in the nation, Nepal are not new issues but these have not been in the limelight in critical discussions so far. Manjushree Thapa, one of the prominent writers of South Asia and a courageous figure in the literary field of contemporary Nepali writers deals with the account of Nepali women’s experiences and the challenges they have been facing to date. All Of Us In Our Own Lives 2016 is a work of fiction by Manjushree Thapa, which shows the picture of strong women, who ultimately fight for their rights and seek to break the societal norms which dominate their rights. Thapa has attempted to highlight their voice which is suppressed under the patriarchal society and encourage them in fulfilling responsibilities toward themselves and society.
