Abstract
Women are treated as a vulnerable piece of society since the days of immemorial. Indeed, it is miserable to see that they have not had the sort of chances that men have delighted in. In our male-ruled society, women's status has been appalling. Thus, in their lives, they need to confront more hindrances. Slowly, women comprehended that they are equivalent privileges and opened doors with men as individuals also. They have never been treated seriously in man-centric social development, even in the space of writing. We have become survivors of the oppression of the genders. That thought led to Feminism development. During the 1960s, it picked up speed. The mission is essentially pointed toward accomplishing uniformity with men in by and large circles of life regarding amazing open doors, opportunities, and cooperation. The developing number of women authors' work started to extend the situation of women. The opportunity and liberation of women became huge. Literature talks about the actual society. It is the reality of society defined in words. Writing is a medium that impacts the creative mind and vision of society and at last, leads to the stereotypes and values that are inbuilt into the system. Kamala Das was one such essayist.
Kamala Das powerfully wrote about women's issues - struggling with sexism, understanding and experimenting with their sexuality, childbirth, love, desire, loneliness, being stifled, and emotional disillusionment in the patriarchal society. Kamala Das was quite possibly of India's best authors, the mother of current English Indian verse, and the primary Hindu lady to expound honestly on sexual desire. Appreciated by those chasing better day-to-day environments and common freedoms for ladies, Das was an essayist who could be delicate and gnawing, at times in the same sentence. Recognizing her innovative and individual fortitude, the artist Balan Chullikkad referred to her as "the first feminist emotional revolutionary of our time". The Indian sensationalist newspapers marked her "The Love Queen of Malabar". Kamala Das had an ability for just communicating complex feelings without disrupting, or confounding trustworthiness. In this paper, how Kamala Das explains love and sexuality in her poems 'The Sunshine Cat', 'The looking glass', and 'The Freaks' is analyzed
