[Walkers] well-focused, clearly written essays demonstrate the conformity and the challenges to conventional expectations defining women poets. Walkers work makes a significant contribution to an often neglected area of American literary history.

Walker has devised an original analysis that puts a new spin on the works and lives of these poets.

Let No Charitable Hope Now let no charitable hope Confuse my mind with images Of eagle and of antelope: I am in nature none of these. I was, being human, born alone; I am, being woman, hard beset; I live by squeezing from a stone The little nourishment I get. In masks outrageous and austere The years go by in single file; But none has merited my fear, And none has quite escaped my smile.
