Summary

For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture.  Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. 
Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. 
For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.  These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. 
The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written.  And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias.  With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. 
This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
