Abstract | The postcolonial era in feminism emerged as a reaction to standard feminist ideologies. Kamala Das aspired to be a voice for women who were not part of the Western feminist discourse. In India, feminism has been interpreted in diverse ways. Kamala Das is recognized as one of the most prominent Indian poets of the postcolonial era and a pioneer of the feminist movement in Indian English poetry. Das’s poetry addresses the struggles of women in a male-dominated society, highlighting the persistent inferior status of women compared to men. The first wave of feminism focused on activism for women’s rights, including voting, education, and employment, as well as marriage laws and middle-class women’s issues. Sarah Gamble, in her book The Routledge Companion to Feminism and Post-Feminism, highlights the advent of second-wave feminism, which began in the early 1960s in the United States and later spread globally. Third-wave feminism, emerging in the 1990s, embraced diverse identities and broadened feminist discourse. As a feminist poet, Kamala Das’s works portray the plight of women within traditional Indian society. She candidly depicts the suffering, humiliation, and patriarchal oppression women endure. Her poems, drawn from personal experiences, resonate universally and challenge societal norms about women’s roles. |
