: marginalised women feminism patriarchy the glass menagerieTennessee Williams is one of the most highly recognized and prolific American dramatists of the twentieth century. Critics such as Roger Boxill Lyle Leverich and Donald Spoto maintain that Williams presents cases for the alienated the dysfunctional and other outcasts of society and that his genius sparks concern for their suffering which may account for his plays’ enduring popularity. Williams’ first three major plays The Glass Menagerie (1945) A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and Summer and Smoke (1948); present the plight of sensitive helpless women who are victims in Southern patriarchal society either degraded or destroyed in their search for identity and security. Through these plays Williams makes a critical plea for society to address the predicament of marginalized women in a cruel and insensitive world. This paper details The Glass Menagerie as a representation of marginalised women and literature as a vehicle to make public awareness on patriarchy
