Description: A collection of the female voice in America, this anthology includes the work of 70 women poets ranging from established names to the lesser-known. Rising out of the same growing conciousness that spawned the Women's Liberation Movementm this book is a feminist statement in the largest sense: it expresses a belief in the full humanity of woman and her right to define herself.
