The glimpse of societal reality in poetry by women
Abstract
Poetry is an expression of our passions. It is difficult to
separate passion from poetic expression just as it is impossible
to separate women from poetry because women poets,
arguably, often capture the more subtle expressions of human
desire and passion than their male counterparts. Women have
been battling to free themselves of various physical and
psychological shackles imposed by patriarchal societies without
fail and with great endurance. The resilience is evident in
Meera's poetry as well in that of modern women poets. Poetry
by women can often be deemed as a measure of social
realities, a voice of resistance, an exercise in self-pity or even
as a rationale for their subjugation but it is also, in many ways,
reflective of an informal history of women. It is emblematic of
the resistance and and progress that is often condemned in its
own day but celebrated in the future. Yet, many poetesses have
recorded persistently channelled the injustice, atrocities and
social traumas inflicted on women through their poetry.
