An overview of poet Hilda Doolittle, highlighting her works as a feminist.

"Literature critics writing about Hilda Doolittle have tended to focus their discussion on one among a series of possible splittings they find in her work: the word from the object, language from experience, public from private, or even a splitting of the self into two different selves. Those critics who have recuperated H. D. into the fields of feminist criticism and gay and lesbian studies generally stress the closeting of H.D.'s work.

The largely autobiographical prose manuscripts unearthed after her death take her lesbian relationships as their main subject."
