Abstract
This paper explores the distinguished elements in the poetry of some eminent female poets from Greek era of Sappho to the modern poetry. The poetic developments of French feminism and Anglo-American feminism provide solid grounds to analyze the gender issues prevailing in the society in a specific period of time. Issues of the past and present have been highlighted and discussed with the modern expansions focusing the poetry produced by female poets and its place in the male chauvinist world. Existential and linguistic binary oppositions and to Lacanian and Freudian concepts of subjectivity, separation or loss established on absence have remained the main ideas behind the poetry produced by women from ancient to modern era. Works of major female poets have been discussed in this paper. This research is helpful to know about the characteristics, topics and ideology of the poetry produced by women poets under the patriarchal pressures.
