Focusing on poems by Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop and Adrienne Rich, it analyses three factors which may account for female silence in literature: the burden of literary criticism, women writers' identification with dominant sexist values, and the need to alter a man-made language. %K Historia de América %K America-History %K Filología %K Philology %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
