This paper deals with the psychoanalytic feminism as in Isabel Allende’s Maya’s Notebook, as it involves the life and mind of women. And one can see that the whole novel is all about Maya a 19 year old girl and her sufferings because she has to cope with desolation and loss at a very young age. Another woman who gets the focus of the author is Maya’s grandmother. The most important issue that Allende brings out is the way women are abused for criminal activities and for money –making. The lyrical prose used to describe the delight of sea-life is yet another aspect of the novel. Exile in this kind of a landscape is more a search for inner peace, to escape alienation, death and grief. Life in Chile is portrayed as a union of raw nature unlike the mechanical life of California. Maya’s Notebook is very much rooted into the contemporary global culture. Maya Vidal regains her identity after getting shattered into pieces by the circumstances. Her exile and diary get her closer to herself and rescues her getting disintegrated.
