This study is about the psychological problems of women in contemporary society as illustrated in Margaret Drabble’s selected novels. Judith Butler’s gender and performativity theory will help us to understand psychological problems of women in a better way. Moreover, the postulates of Butler’s gender performory help women to come out of their psychological problems. For this purpose, we have selected Drabble’s the Red Queen (2004). This study leads us to the conclusion that women are stressed and depressed because of performative norms that are assigned to them by culture and society.
