Abstract
Cultural studies have changed the understanding and research paradigms of a literary text. A text put forwards multiple issues concerning identity, culture and self. The research framework of identity transforms with the context of time and society. The concept of self and identity emerged as the most challenging in the recent academic research. It has been analysed in the literary text from the perspectives of postcolonial, postmodern, post structural, feminism and post feminism in the emerging writings across the globe. The present research paper proposes to explore the notion of identity from the lens of feminist and post feminist contours in the select poems of Eunice de Souza and Sujata Bhatt. The paper is an attempt to explore the patriarchal precarious existence of female sexuality, body and identity comparatively in developing writings of Indian women. The paper also endeavours to investigate the psychological and emotional state of female as conceptualized the select poets.
