Padma Gole (Marathi: पद्मा गोळे; 1913–1998) was a Marathi poet from Maharashtra, India born in patwardhan family of Tasgaon (District Sangli). 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]
The following are the collections of her poems:
- Akashwedi (आकाशवेडी)
- Shrawan Megh (श्रावणमेघ)
- Pritipathawar (प्रीतिपथावर)
- Nihar ( निहार)
- Swapnata (स्वप्नता)
