Abstract

This paper aims at shedding light on the way Adrienne Rich, the prominent American poet in both the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, used her poetry to clarify the changes that occurred throughout her life as a woman.

Rich embraced the ideas related to lesbianism and feminism and made herself an ardent activist in these two movements. This was a way of resisting the dominance of males in life.
