Abstract
Feminism is one of the growing concepts in today's world. Feminism is increasing in literary field. Women are expressing their needs and rights in writing and speech with a sense of liberation, with the intention of changing the social restrictions and attitudes that oppresses women. A woman is the mother of knowledge, the heart full of grace and who showers love. The woman who had all these characteristics faced many problems. Women's liberation became emotional and that everyone was touched by that feeling. Among them Bharatiyar, Bharathidasan, Kavimani Desiya Vinayagam Pillai, Periyar, Anna, Pudumaippittan and poet Gnanakoothan tended to create rising norms for women's emancipation and women's social progress. Poet Gnanakkuthan, who was a pioneer of Puthukavithai, worked to process the ideas of women's progress. He used his poetry as a weapon. In this way, his poems were in a simple manner and reached everyone. In order to sum up his positive views, this article examines the ability of Gnanakoothan to express the suppression of women in all positions of the society by highlighting feminism, grief due to female birth, women's lack of education, dowry violence, mockery, sexual violence etc. in his poems.
