This study explores the evolution of gender representation in Bhutanese literature through a comparative analysis of Karma Ura’s The Hero with a Thousand Eyes (1995) and Kunzang Choden’s The Circle of Karma (2005). Employing qualitative textual analysis and close reading, the paper uses feminist literary theory, particularly Butler’s gender performativity, Hooks’ critique of patriarchy, Spivak’s subaltern theory, and Crenshaw’s intersectionality, to interrogate the narratives. The findings reveal that Ura’s male-centered text reflects entrenched patriarchal structures, rendering women largely invisible, while Choden’s novel reclaims female agency and foregrounds women's voices. This research contributes to emerging scholarship on Bhutanese literature and gender, offering insights into the shifting sociocultural perceptions of gender roles in contemporary Bhutan and the role of literature in challenging entrenched norms.
