topic :-
In many cultures, women have been systematically treated as inferior to men. Explain how the protagonist in your novel struggles against this to gain control over her own life.
Can anyone help me with a proper thesis statement on this topic?
It depends on what you want your essay to be about. Your thesis statement introduces the topic of your essay and lays out what you will be talking about. It looks like the essay is supposed to be about struggle and control. So . . . the thesis would state very briefly her struggles and the fact that she does overcome. It might look something like this:
In Kahled Hosseini's novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Mariam struggles against abuse in her arranged marriage and the subservient status of women in Afghan society to achieve the freedom to live her life as she wants.
That is some great advice. In the opening paragraph, I always try to grab the attention with an interesting idea related to the thesis statement. Then, I'd say something about the novel. I would elaborate, and at the end of that first para I would give a thesis statement similar to the one Eric gave.
Good luck!
thanks a lot Eirc and Kevin.

Or one may make the best of out it, learn something new whilst trying to find the solution to the problem and mature form the process as a result.
