Items related to Vindication: poems from six women
The third of our #WomenVote100 Anthologies: a showcase for poets Arachne has previously published in anthologies, giving an opportunity to explore their writing in greater depth.
These are poems made of myth and family, origins and anger, journeys and home: witty,
clever, beautiful and sometimes harsh.
Whilst not directly reflecting on the experience of women fighting for the vote, the concerns of women are foremost and are passionately addressed.
My own sex, I hope, will excuse me,
if I treat them like rational creatures,
instead of flattering their fascinating
graces, as if they were in perpetual
childhood, unable to stand alone.
From Vindication by Anne Macaulay, a found poem based on the work of Mary Wollstonecraft.
Poems by: Sarah James, Sarah Lawson, Jill Sharp, Elinor Brooks, Adrienne Silcock, and Anne Macaulay.
Edited by Cherry Potts.

Review:
" a compelling collection... captivating prosody... sharp irony ... fresh, thought-provoking... clear riveting lines... The poems collected in the anthology form an absorbing analysis condensing some major issues in the vindication of women’s rights since Mary Wollstonecraft. They are a tribute commemorating women’s past sufferings and perseverance, and they point to present commitment to an ongoing fight. "
Carla Scarano in London Grip: https://londongrip.co.uk/2019/02/vindication/
"Perhaps what resonates most from this collection is that whatever the subject matter, Wollstonecraft’s exhortation has been heeded throughout: ‘Women – endeavour to acquire/strength, both of mind and body,/ soft phrases, susceptibility/ of heart, delicacy of sentiment...’. "
- Hannah Stone in The Lake (http://www.thelakepoetry.co.uk/reviews/april19/)
" The thread woven throughout is one of women’s experience: it travels among and between rich and diverse fabrics – from bees, Cornish tin miners to Ancient Greece by way of dream, fable, fantasy, observation and wit."
- Pippa Little in The High Window (https://thehighwindowpress.com/2018/09/05/reviews-4/#Vindication)
