Feminist poems: classics of Feminist poetry

Feminist poems: classics of Feminist poetry.

One of the tools of Feminism is art, mainly poetry, where we can find the first attempts to develop a defense of women’s rights in times as early as the 18th century. In this sense, it is fair to think that feminist poems predate the movement, and that to a large extent the poetry of feminism served to establish the ideological and philosophical bases that sustain it.

In this section we will go through the best feminist poems of those years.
