Gender Reconstitution: How Women Write Sonnets
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gender is a performance in most actions, including writing.
The sonnet, as one of the earliest forms of poetry in the English
language, has created and enforced the gender constructions of
time periods; however, when women sonneteers such as Lady
Mary Wroth, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Adrienne Rich take on
this particular form, they undermine the gender binary of male
and female by taking on both the traditionally feminine and
masculine traits to shed light on the gender and sexuality issues of
their particular time period and culture.
