We all know that Bharathiyar
wrote poems about Women's liberation.Women being considered inferior to men.
having to bend over backwards to accommodate societal requests and needing to
kowtow to irrational norms are issues that still relevant.
There were women in earlier times who did not take quite take things lying down.Like the Marathi women saints who used to abhangs to convey their angst.They may not have questioned the human male;instead they directed their question to Lord Vittal.
The abhangs woman saints such like Kanhotra,Nagi, Vithabai and Bahina are an eloquent commentary on the woe;s of a woman's existence For example ,.Soyarabai asks why a woman should be considered untouchable during her menstrual
cycle when it is responsible for her being a creator.Bahimabai expresses her desire to dance freely without society frowning on her.For Janabai who works as demestic help, Vittal was a companionwith whom she shared her daily mundane life.
