dc.description.abstract This paper scrutinizes the selected poems of Kamala Das and Maya Angelou from the point of view of what Simone De Beauvoir has depicted in her masterpiece The Second Sex. Analyzing both of the authors and the critic, this paper identifies the old question blame-game against male and masculine force as the primary barrier against the coexistence of men and women. The further analysis scrutinizes how different phase of women life and their personal experience shape and reshape their idea of man. Finally, this paper shows that since woman sketch men based on their personal experience and revolve around masculine force to justify female existence, they should first come to a concrete and concise idea about male, rather demanding the equality at the first place. Without revising their facts and ideas, nothing will change and remain like the past. en_US
