What are some feminist and women poets that are better than Rupi Kaur? They didn't deserve this.

There are many female poets better than Rupi - basically all of them.

I don't know if any of these women are """feminists,"""" but if you're a woman, and you don't suck at what you do, you're doing a good thing for women and that makes you a feminist in my book.

>Carol Ann Duffy ((she's England's first female and openly gay Poet Laureate, so you might think she got her post for political reasons (she may have) but her poetry is solid, regardless))
>Tracy K. Smith (a bit overly "feminine" in her style, for my tastes, at times, but good)
>Emily Dickinson (of course)
>Ruth Miller
>Sappho (of course)
>Elizabeth Barret Browning
>Marianne Crouch (I learned of her on this board. Some think she's quite good, but her cadence is far too like a Mos Def song, and the tone of her work immature. Still, she's heaps better than Kaur - she can write at least.)
>Hilda Doolittle
>Sagawa Chika

I'm really curious about an anthology called "Kujikenaide (Don't Lose Heart)" written by a Japanese woman named Shibata, Toyo at the age of 99, but I haven't had the chance to read it yet. I must admit, I read the works of mainly men, but I'll keep thinking and drop some more by if I recall any.

women are using literature as guise for agenda pushing. Never has a woman written a worthwhile book or coined a philosophical movement which went down in history. A planet without women wouldn't be much different. OP might be a female so I'm going to sage this.
