The study of gender is multi-dimensional; as it crosses the bounds of history, anthropology, sociology, psychology and organisational development. Gender is known to be socially constructed and is learned through social interactions and influences of people around us. Culture definitely plays a major role in the determination of gender. In order to determine gender identity and gender representation, we need to distinguish between ‘gender’ and ‘sex’. Gender derived from the Latin word ‘genus’ meaning kind or race refers to the psycho-social aspects that are constructed by culture, whereas sex derived from the Latin word ‘sexus’ refers to biological aspects of masculinity/femininity. It is relevant that while discussing gender stereotypes one must consider both these terms. From the moment a child is born he or she is assailed with messages of what it means to be a ‘boy’ or a ‘girl’. Masculinity for male and femininity for female are embedded in their gender (socially constructed) and not in their sex (biological). However, the ‘culture’ as determinant factor varies in respect of female or male behaviour. S for instance, women in Saudi Arabian culture are not allowed to drive cars, whereas women in the US enjoy the freedom to drive cars. So gender is looked differently across different cultures and through different time periods. A few literary texts have been examined to reflect a deeper understanding of gender and culture.

Kamala Das was born on 31st March’ 1934 in Malabar, Kerala. Kamala's love for writing sprouted at a very early young age of 14 years. Though she had an impeccable command over Malayalam and English language but found an instinctive inclination towards English as a medium for her expression. She was one of the Confessional Poets like Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and many others. Das was married at an early age of 15 years, which made a great impact on her poetry. Kamala Das is the First Indian woman who wrote very openly on Love and Sex. Her poems have a touch of true love, sex, isolation, sufferings and also quest for identity. Her poems are not only subjective but also have elements of her autobiography in it. Kamala Das used a pen name “Madhavikutty”. Das has also written her autobiography “My Story” in which she has honestly expressed all that she has faced and also very frankly accepted all the extramarital affairs she had. She writes autobiographically, “All the pain unexpressed and the sad tales left untold made me recklessly and in protest.” Being unloved made her a feminist writer.
