The Rise of 'Women's Poetry' in the 1970s: An Initial Survey into New Austrlian Poetry, the Women's Movement, and a Matrix of Revolutions.

This article focuses on the rise of women's poetry in the 1970s in New South Wales. The author traces the complex relationship between women's poetry and the radical small press scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s. She traces how poets of both sexes were discussing revolution in terms of authorship and publishing. This will then give light on how gender was taken up and used within this discourse of transformation.
