This paper is an anthology analysis: a collection of
poems bound together by a
common theme---
womanhood. The five poems are womanhood poems written by Erica Jong, Maya Angelou, Anne Sexton, Genny Lim and Elma Mitchell. All the poems talk about womanhood and the differing perspectives of what a
Woman really is. After selecting these poems, the author analyzes them and relates the common threads they share as well as the differences.
