Mamta Kalia as a Women Poetess

Abstract

Woman‟s life is full of compromises. She has to make compromises in every walk of life. “Sacrifice thy name is woman”
This concept was introduced by the great Hindi poet „Jai Shanker Prasad‟ in Kamayani.In his poetic utterances he says that
womanhood is the ideal, She is an epitome of sacrifice and endurance .She is full of motherly love and her eyes brim over
with tears due to great sufferings. It is fatalistic to endorse that a woman‟s birth is for suffering and enduring. There is no
alleviation or escape from it as she is destined to show forbearance. When the woman starts searching her own identity. She
is called feminist. Feminism stands for woman‟s struggle against their continuing circumscribed existence at work, in
society and in the culture of the country .Women are set to fight for emancipation and liberation from all forms of
oppression by the state, by society and by men. A women‟s identity is defined by man‟s world and it revolves around
providing him all comforts. It is an irony .She does not own her own life. There are set rules or norms which dictate her life.
