Mythological women roar in modern feminist poems

"The World's Wife by Carol Ann Duffy is a compelling and clever collection of poems that gives voice to the often-overlooked women behind famous men. From Mrs. Darwin to Frau Freud, each poem subverts traditional narratives and offers a fresh, witty perspective on age-old mythology and modern feminist issues. With her quicksilver wit and imaginative style, Duffy's poetic voice mesmerizes and captivates, making this book a must-read for fans of feminist writing and mythological retellings."
