Toru Dutt, an Indian poet, and novelist, was a pioneer in women's empowerment and social justice in colonial India. Her poetry addresses various social issues, feminism, colonialism, and the underprivileged. Dutt's lyrical style often reflects an Eastern sensibility, indebted to Western influences. However, despite the dominant Western European tradition and the colonial context of her writings, she exhibits a strong sense of ethnic pride and an aspiration for equality. Through her poetry, Toru Dutt provided a platform for the voices of women to be heard. She lifted the veil of silence that surrounded issues surrounding women and used her art to challenge patriarchal norms. Her work demonstrated a feminist perspective in a society where it was not yet widespread, paving the way for future generations of Indian female writers to express their thoughts, experiences and perspectives. Dutt's commitment to feminism and human values is particularly significant, considering that it came to the fore during India's colonial period when women were often voiceless in their own society. She was thus a feminist pioneer and a crucial figure in the history of Indian Writing in English. The present paper is a humble attempt to study the prominent feminist features of Toru Dutt’s poetry.
