This paper explores the representations of women in Kathryn Stockett's book The Help. This novel is exceptional since it is written from the perspective of a white American author about the hardships of Black people. The experiences of black maids in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s, who encountered racial discrimination from white people, are shown in this story. The empowerment of black women is the main objective of this study. Discrimination against female characters is taken up in the study. Because of racial injustice, black women suffer more than white women. Because of the town's rules and widespread racial discrimination, some women are motivated to take action to improve their community. A few strong female personalities are empowered to improve their own lives. The study demonstrates how the female characters in the Jackson community deal with dominance and how they are empowered in society.
