Abstract
This analytical research lies at the intersection of language and gender. It is rooted in Showalter‘s perspective that contemporary female writers share distinct female experiences, which require a female framework for examining literary works by women, about women. Theoretically speaking, Post-modern frameworks promote human experience to be located, inescapably within language. Language shapes and reifies positioning of women in the society. Therefore, I have taken up Gynocriticism as an approach towards the selected texts, which looks at the language of the texts by the female authors from female perspective. Earlier, studies in this area centered on the similarities and differences between the male and female spoken language, but I have narrowed down this area of study by studying the similarities and differences in the use of literary language by Maya Angelou, Margaret Atwood and Moniza Alvi. They have been studied under the canopy of Communities of Practice Approach, using the adapted theoretical-operational framework given by Elaine Showalter, Jonathan Culler and Sara Mills. It tends to bring out those experiential and relational values of the selected female poets that provide basis for re-establishing of women‘s positioning in the society through the transformative power of language in literature. It does not only reflect upon new positioning of female intellectuals, but women in general. It brings out their urge for growth and empowerment that calls for encouragement, appreciation and recognition. The analytical findings reveal that these women of intellect and wisdom belong to different parts of the world, yet they share a common goal, of raising their voice against suppression of women, exemplifying themselves to be equally talented and competent in their art of writing poetry. The study also presents strength of female writers to use language as a transformative power and display the dynamics of their experiential and relational values, for the emancipation of women around the world through their linguistic diversity and literary aesthetics. The analysis of the selected poems determines and establishes the position of the female poets as talented and artistic beings, making the world accept women as a group, who has started to look at themselves as strong and equal members of the society, bringing out their persuasive voice and making them heard as women of substance in the world.
