Padma Gole (Marathi: पद्मा गोळे) (1913–1998) was a Marathi poet from Maharashtra, India. 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)
