| Résumé : | This article argues that Medbh McGuckian's oeuvre is profoundly concerned with matters of female identity in ways that mark it out as feminist. Her historical gaze lays bare the essentialist, gendered rhetoric used within patriarchal culture which renders women as marginal, submissive and disempowered. In poems which borrow from texts as diverse as source books on women's culture in Renaissance Italy and sociological studies of women's housework, McGuckian investigates masculinist ideologies that have controlled and defined women's bodies and behavior throughout the ages |
