		She rapidly broke male monopoly in poetry and was soon hailed along with Nirala, Pant, and Prasad as one of the four founder-leaders of Chhayavad, a new school of poetry writing.
		A fulfilling compulsion, writing, claimed Mahadevi "gives me pleasure and not writing gives a feeling of emptiness in life."

		Mahadevi envies the state of smug certainty in which men live, thrusting women to experience alone the dilemmas and anguish of dual morality standards.

	Varma: about this text
		Interestingly, Varma would go on to win recognition in the Hindi literary world as an 'adhunik' (modern) Mira; observers of her life have also tried to seek similarity in the personal lives of both women, who renounced their spousal roles in pursuit of their own identites.
		Her decision to write prose and poetry and attend 'kavi sammelans' (poetry festivals) was daring for those times.
		Although women writers were attaining recognition in other regional languages, Varma's uniqueness lay in her commanding parity with men and being widely recognised, along with Nirala, Pant and Prasad, as one of the four founder-leaders of a new romantic school of Hindi poetry termed 'Chhayavad'.

		The poets writing in Hindi, it seems, are so fascinated by the Urdu ghazal traditions that they have forgotten that they are Hindi poets and should follow the literary or poetic diction of Hindi poetry.
		This literary trend in Hindi shows that the diction used by Hindi poet is not the one used by Prasad, Pant, Nirala and Mahadevi Varma.
		Even the progressive trends (pragativad) of Naveen have been left.
