Abstract
The research paper aims to study the similarities in writing patterns of women in the Eastern and the Western world giving special attention to the confessional poet Anne Sexton who was a post- modern American poet and who possessed expertise in writing in autobiographical style and Sarojini Naidu who was the torch-bearer and harbinger of modern thought in India. The two women had different upbringing, lived in different countries with different cultures but there was a still a strange similarity in their writings. The paper does not aim to project the gynocritical analysis, but it covers a variety of aspects such as treatment of images, metaphoric use of language and idea of life and death along with feminine anguish.
