Volume : III, Issue : IX, October - 2013 Quest For Self In Kamala Das's Poetry Deepika Rani DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Ours country is a country with patriarchal system in society. Man is the head of the family. He is the owner of its member too. Talking about female, she is the main sufferer of this so called patriarchal system. Man assumes himself as the owner of female's mind as well as body also. Her feminine self gets hurt. Her inner conflicts tore her completely. She craves for her 'self'. She wants that her identity must be recognized. Kamala Das, a poet, as a strong protestant gives voice to this inner-conflict. Her poems are not only her own, but they belong to every woman. This paper attempts a critical reading of 'Quest for Self' in Kamala Das's poetry.
