The strongest and most prominent feminist voices are known in their countries as Kishwar Naheed and Kamala wijeratne, in their poetry, they convey thoughts and issues remarkably about the social status and identity of women in society. This paper is trying to Provide a distinctly feminist perspective like how women identify themselves as a mother, daughter, and wife and she is struggling a lot in society under the name of religion. If power is in the hands of women they lead their life without fear. The biological and social roles of humans are the same but sometimes it is changed because gender is different than sex.
