Padma Gole (1913–1998) was a Marathi poet from Maharashtra, India.
Early life
[edit | edit source]She was born into a patwardhan family of Tasgaon (District Sangli). Gole was second child of Shrimant Vinayakrao alias Babasaheb Patwardhan and Shrimant Saraswatibai Patwardhan. After Vinayakrao's death in 1923, her mother took all their children to Pune where all siblings took their education. Ms Gole had four siblings Shrimant Kamlini alias Taisaheb Peshawa (1911–1973), Parshuram Vinayakrao Patwardhan (1917–1989), Mangalmurti Vinayakrao alias Bhaiyyasaheb Patwardhan (1920–1980) and Kamalatai Bhave, Jabalpur/Mumbai.
Career
[edit | edit source]She was one of the many women from rich Indian families who were emboldened by the Gandhian movement to become feminist writers.[1]
Her poetry was heavily influenced by the writings of Ram Ganesh Gadkari, Tryambak Bapuji Thombre, and Yashwant Dinkar Pendharkar.[citation needed] Much of Padma's poetry depicts the domestic lives of Indian middle-class women.[2]
