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.
