Abstract
This article throws light on the discourse of masculinity and how it is emasculated by the two poets, Maya Angelou and Taslima Nasrin. Masculinity is a historical, political, cultural and social construct. There is a pressing necessity to deconstruct the ideology of masculinity in the contemporary times. The article explores on the concept of masculinity, evolution, feminism, femininity and the poems “They Went Home” by Maya Angelou and “Acquaintance” by Taslima Nasrin.
