The patriarchy of the society within the context of which poet Gwen Harwood
constructed her poetry, is observed, sometimes criticized and often challenged
in the collection of poems found in the text 'Gwen Harwood, Selected Poems'. The
representation of the images of men, women and gender differences to which a
society consciously or unconsciously subscribes are captured through her
writings.
I think this is a little awkward - as though it is trying to sound more intelligent than it is - but it certainly gives you something to think about. When writing your own essays you should consider that, despite being female Harwood is writing in a male field for a male audience.
