- I, Being Born a Woman and Distressed by Edna St. Vincent Millay. One of Millay’s best-known poems, ‘I, Being Born a Woman and Distressed,’ describes how women need to resist the frenzy that relationships can provide and instead walk away “unpossessed.”
- Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath. A lesser-known Plath poem, but one of her best. It is a wonderful example of figurative language and how an extended metaphor can be used.
- Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou’s most famous poem, and one that’s inspired countless readers to persevere through even the most difficult hardship.
- A Woman Speaks by Audre Lorde. ‘A Woman Speaks’ is another inspiring poem about women and their place in the world. In this case, the poet emphasizes the cross-cultural conversations that should occur between women and open a dialogue about the treatment of women of color.
