- Abstract
In the history of Indian English poetry, Kamala Das is a well known, interesting and controversial poet in post-colonial era. The best thing about her poetry is the openness and the frankness which is unusual in Indian context. Her style of writing best expresses the feminine sensibility and its suppression in the male dominated society. Our country is having a patriarchal system in society. Man is considered as the head of the family as well as owner of its members. Female is the main sufferer in patriarchal system. Man assumes himself as the owner of female's mind as well as body. Husband-wife relationship is also not an exception. This paper focuses on husband-wife relationship as depicted in the poems of Kamala Das.
