Indian English poetry can be observed as a force of determined efforts to carve out an individual ‘space’ in societal levels by the Indian women poets. The term ‘Gender’ is crucial in understanding the obstruction of equalities and fair treatment among the sexes. Gender ‘Gap’, ‘Discrimination’ or ‘Bigotry’ are the diverse expressions of ‘gender’ that establishes a patterned web of stereotypes of masculinities and femininities advocating marginalization through ‘gender roles’ in all fronts including family and workspace. Women’s writings aim to expose the hidden agendas by highlighting the oppressive structures of patriarchal ideologies and challenge the way in which gender relations and roles are perceived. Feminism reflects on these oppressive structures that enable women to uncover the hegemonic dominant structures that subjugated them. The research article observes a feminist approach in analysing the borders and boundaries of De Souza’s marginalized women at societal and familial level by questioning how women are treated in a patriarchal society through gender bigotry and irregularities. In order to study the gender bigotry in the poetry of Eunice De Souza, the research article is an attempt to observe the experiences and subjugation of women of different generations who experienced marginalization heavily established by patriarchal ideologies.
