Abstract

This article analyses the evidence on Gender – based issues in contemporary Tamil poems written by female authors. The aim of this paper is to find out female centric experience through poems by applying Gyno – Criticism. Gyno – Criticism is the branch of Feminist Literary Theory and studies. This critical term was coined by the famous critic Elaine Showalter. She analyses four theoretical models that explore these differences: Biological, Linguistical, Psychological and Cultural. This study shows that many Tamil poets (Women) represent their experiences and women issues in their work. This study also conveys resistance of social and cultural constructions which make the whole women society become a subordinate group through the attitude and life of women in their poems.
