This serial Bildungsroman traces the journey of Martha Quest, a British girl, from her childhood in Rhodesia through Post–war London to an apocalyptic ending in the future. The problems which Martha faces in the mid– twentieth century–sexual, psychological and political are dispassionately treated and explained by Lessing. Martha is a girl with independent spirit and wants retaliate on the existing norms laid by the society. She wants to be recognized as an individual in her own right. To attain individuality and independece, Martha rejects this feminine mystique whicg glorifies only the physical beauty and utility of women.She doesn’t want to be applauded with the hypocrisy chief sentiment. She rejects her mother’s suggestion to uphold the traditional values and remain properly married. She revolts against parental authority and frees herself from the fold of marriage by seeking a divorce in search of her own identity and self. Martha knows that identity and self assertion can alone make her life more meaningful and she carves out her own identity as an individual.  \nKeywords : emotional., individual, psychological, reared, self, traditions,  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nDoris Lessing is the name to be reckoned within the history of post war English fiction. Described as the most fearless women novelist in the world, unabashed ex–communist and uncompromising feminist, Lessing holds a unique place among twentieth century women writer for the sheer number, variety and scope of her work. In her nearly three dozen books, Lessing has experimented with various genres–ranging from social realism to science fiction with brief forays into philosophy and mysticism– and offered a perceptive, through critical, commentary on the socio– political as well as cultural scenario in the post–1950‘s world.  \nThe novel Martha Quest traces in chronological fashion the developing consciousness of a young protagonist who passes from girlhood to womanhood on a farm in Rhodesia. Mrs.Quest is shaping Martha strictly according to English traditions and putting many don‟ts in her dress and makeup. She does not like that Martha should meet men, especially Jewish shop-keepers – the Cohen boys- for several reasons. Martha not only defies her mother‘s wish of remaining aloof from the Cohen boys, but on the contrary becomes more friendly with them and frankly tells her mother one day:  \n“ I want to see the cohen boys” „you‟re making friends with them? Demurred Mrs Quest „ I thought we always were friends with them‟,said Martha scornfully(MQ:46)  \nOne of the most important factors which affect Martha is her own family and upbringing. As Holmquist points out, it is Martha‘s family who brings her in touch both with bourgeois demand on women and with conflict-ridden relationship between parents and children and men and women. The institution of the family upholdsall these social structures, and through her parents Martha learns the rules of society.  \nThe background of the Quest family is important when we consider the basis of Martha‘s life. The parents are representatives of the white British middle class, and they have come to the British colony in the
