A Reflection of French Feminism in Mallika Sengupta's poetry

Abstract

Feminist writings have been one of the modes of challenging patriarchal dominance over the female body and subjectivity. Woman has been constantly reacting to the phallocentirc politics and willing to replenish the existing dominant version of "woman". The poetry written by Mallika Sengupta is a straight forward reaction to the Freudian argument of woman being lack. My endeavour here will be to demystify the feminism through the understating of French feminism.
