Abstract: Temsula Ao is one of the prominent literary voices from Northeast India. She constantly tried to bring the issues of her native land to the limelight. Her short stories presented the violence and turmoil that engulfed her region. During the military operation, the Naga people, especially the womenfolk felt insecure. The present study attempts to portray how the women in the turbulent arena played their role in handling untoward situations. The writer tries to depict the Naga women who stood confidently against the rebellion and played a significant role during the Naga Movement. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to analyze three short stories by Temsula Ao—The Jungle Major, A Simple Question, and The Pot Maker from the perspective of New Woman.
