AND MANY MORE. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTHE ANTHOLOGY \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs I put together this anthology, three mantras resounded in my head: My sisters' words are my words. My sisters' words are my words, so I must do them justice. My sisters' words are my words, so I must choose the words that speak closest to my beliefs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e I share this mantra with you because I believe it is important to understand that I do not intend for this book to reflect a historical reading or academic inquiry of the history of the female, antifeminism, and\/or suffragist culture. There are plenty of fine scholars who have already done the research, specified research, on individual poets and years and social constructs that circle back to the power of the female: I encourage you to do that reading. Rather, this is a book designed by a poet, who is also a woman, with the intention of creating a protected space for the dynamic, lyrical, and heart-wrenching female voices of the past to mingle together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor many, womanhood is an inescapable myth, a lifetime of predetermined emotions and values and categories in which many do not fit: girlhood, sisterhood, motherhood. These poems speak to each other in that they fill the others' grooves; the way they move on the page and in the mouth echoes the sentiments of the past to pave the sounds of the future. The individual history of each one of these women is made possible because of the ones who came prior, thus they are intertwined. Some of these women, like Gertrude Stein, Emily Dickinson, or H.D. are still celebrated in literary circles today. Others like Lady Kasa or Helen Gray Cone have hid in the shadows: this is their place to shine. In a way, this anthology was created so that these exquisite and already intertwined deserving female poets finally had a safe haven. In a way, I set off to create a sisterhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven though each poem in this anthology is a voice from the past, each one has something important to say about the essence of being a woman today. Listen to these poets as they whisper their most private thoughts and feelings in your ear and marvel at how the bond of sisterhood transcends the passage of time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbriana Jetté\u003cbr\u003eBrooklyn, New York\u003cbr\u003e2014 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTHE POETS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmily Dickinson\u003cbr\u003eEmily Brontë\u003cbr\u003eJane Austen\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Barrett Browning\u003cbr\u003eGertrude Stein\u003cbr\u003eH.D.\u003cbr\u003eChristina Rossetti\u003cbr\u003eAnne Bradstreet\u003cbr\u003eSappho\u003cbr\u003eMina Loy\u003cbr\u003eAmy Lowell\u003cbr\u003eKatherine Phillips\u003cbr\u003eIsabella Whitney\u003cbr\u003eMary Darby Robinson\u003cbr\u003eSara Teasdale\u003cbr\u003eEmma Lazarus\u003cbr\u003ePhillis Wheatley\u003cbr\u003eAnne Kingsmill Finch\u003cbr\u003eSumangalamata\u003cbr\u003eLouise Labe\u003cbr\u003eAnn Taylor\u003cbr\u003eLady Mary Chudleigh\u003cbr\u003eLucy Terry Prince\u003cbr\u003eLady Kasa\u003cbr\u003eEllen Wheeler Wilcox\u003cbr\u003eAnna Laetitia Barbauld\u003cbr\u003eHelen Gray Cone\u003cbr\u003eLi Qingzhao\u003cbr\u003eAphra Behn\u003cbr\u003eFelicia Dorothea Hemans \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTHE AUTHOR \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbriana Jetté is an internationally published poet, essayist, and educator.
