Bharathidasan sees woman as an embodiment of immense potential. She can be a catalyst to provoke men to action, as the protagonist of சஞ்சீவி பர்வதத்தின் சாரல் does with her lover குப்பன்; or, when the circumstances demand, the woman would herself act, as சுப்பம்மா does in தமிழச்சியின் கத்தி, when சுதரிசன் approaches her with evil intention. The woman that Bharathidasan visualizes is one who rejects superstitious and irrational faiths. She is viewed as ‘a refreshing fragrance to cleanse the foul-smelling society around’! She goes beyond the conventional bounds of home, family and children to serve her nation and language. தங்கம் in குடும்பவிளக்கு is an exemplification of the ideal house-wife of Bharathidasan’s creation.
