Beautiful Girl,
you don’t even realize
that some people
look at your madness
and see nothing but
brilliance and grace.

Empowerment Of Women

in Poems about Life Struggles

Come on, women!
Must rise to the challenges
Of your enhanced responsibilities.

Come on, women!
Must rise to the challenges
Of your enhanced responsibilities.

Yes!

We are already stronger.
Never feel blue.
Break the myth.
No force can barricade a determined woman.

Come out of your cage.
Bear the pain
Like you do the stilettos.

Wear your elegance every day.
Start rummaging for your upliftment.
Miles to reach acme.

Heads up, women!

Don't fear the fire.
Be the fire!

Homage To My Hips
- By Lucille Clifton
Famous Poem

Lucille Clifton was an American poet who lived from 1936-2010. Her poetry celebrates her African American heritage and usually includes feminist themes, which can be seen in this poem. In "Homage to My Hips," she shows she is proud of who she is. She won’t conform to expectations or be held back. That can even be seen in how she chooses not to capitalize the first letter of a new line.

these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little

these hips are big hips
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.
i have known them
to put a spell on a man and
spin him like a top!

Work what you've got and be proud of it. Someone else probably wishes they had what you've got.

"I, Being Born A Woman And Distressed" by Edna St. Vincent Millay also known as Sonnet XLI, is a poem that explores the complexities of love and desire. Through the use of poetic techniques such as imagery and metaphor, Millay portrays the speaker's struggle with societal expectations and her own desires.

Edna St. Vincent Millay was an American poet and playwright known for her lyrical and emotionally charged poetry. She was a prominent figure in the literary and feminist movements of the early 20th century.

in Famous Love Poems

I, being born a woman and distressed
By all the needs and notions of my kind,
Am urged by your propinquity to find
Your person fair, and feel a certain zest

I, being born a woman and distressed
By all the needs and notions of my kind,
Am urged by your propinquity to find
Your person fair, and feel a certain zest
To bear your body's weight upon my breast:
So subtly is the fume of life designed,
To clarify the pulse and cloud the mind,
And leave me once again undone, possessed.
Think not for this, however, the poor treason
Of my stout blood against my staggering brain,
I shall remember you with love, or season
My scorn with pity, —let me make it plain:
I find this frenzy insufficient reason
For conversation when we meet again.
