Abstract
This research analyzes the W. B. Yeats' poetry from the feminist perspective
taking the ideas of Simone De Beauvoir and Elaine Showalter. It observes that W. B.
Yeats is supporter of women issues. His poetry depicts the womenâs pathetic
condition in patriarchal society and sometimes his poetry gives rebellious character to
the women. Despite being a male, Yeats has able to suspend male ego in many of his
poem. Yeats has focused on enlightenment of women. He believes that to create better
world men and women are necessary and equal worth. Unlike his contemporaries,
Yeats upholds the issues of women in a positive way.
