The
connects between feminism and
poetry are infinite. In fact,
poetry has consistenly been
a way for women to express their
feminism and their politics.
This relates to an even broader
connection between women and
the arts in general. Arts (poetry,
fiction, drama, etc.) are somehow
easier for society to digest
- and similiarly easier for
people to express their true
feelings about something. It
appears more protected this
way. The best way to explain
this is to look at feminist
poets: Audre Lorde, Robin Morgan,
Marge Piercy, Gwendolyn Brooks,
June Jordan; read their words
and you will hear the truth.
