Defying traditional definitions of public and private as gendered
terms, and broadening discussion of women's writing in relation to
feminist work done in other fields, this study addresses American
women's poetry from the seventeenth to late-twentieth century.
Engaging the fields of literary criticism, anthropology,
psychology, history, political theory, religious culture, cultural
studies, and poetics, this study provides entry into some of the
founding feminist discussions across disciplines, moving beyond
current scholarship to pursue an interpretation of feminism's
defining interests and assumptions in the context of women's
writing. The author emphasizes and explores how women's writing
expresses their active participation in community and civic life,
emerging from and shaping a woman's selfhood as constituted through
relationships, not only on the personal level, but as forming
community commitments. This distinctive formation of the self finds
expression in women's voices and other poetic forms of expression,
with the aesthetic power of poetry itself bringing different arenas
of human experience to bear on each other in mutual interrogation
and reflection. Women poets have addressed the public world,
directly or through a variety of poetic structures and figures, and
in doing so they have defined and expressed specific forms of
selfhood engaged in and committed to communal life.
