Carol Ann Duffy’s poetry as a return to the Kristevian chora

Abstract

Needless to say that without the struggle of suffragists and existential feminists, women would have not participated in the political and legal systems propitiated via the vote. Needless to say either that without the battles waged by women after May 1968 and the work of committed scholars, women would have not obtained access to any sociocultural recognition. These feminist consecutions are easily found today in academic manuals about the history of feminism, its interdisciplinarity and intertextuality, its general effects and consequences upon groups of average women. However (and this is the consideration from which the questions raised in this paper have emerged), it is not so easy to come across rigorous academic examinations of how feminism has affected (if it has and to what extent) to particular women as individuals; to women belonging neither to political nor academic circles.
