Feminist Lyric embraced fragmented women’s narratives more suitable to the idiosyncrasies (swerves and awkward breaks) experienced by women writers regardless of space and circumstance.

Josephine Donovan’s inisghtful slant on, “A women’s poetics, therefore, may have to reconceive the notion of plot as a fundamental aesthetic category so that it may be grounded in an idea of temporal order more appropriate to the cyclic experience of women’s lives.” Noteworthy is Donovan’s consideration of a women’s temporality to shape her experience and perspective:

1 – Otherness imposed by patriarchal and andocentric ideologies …

2 – “interruptability” of women’s domestic experience contingent on chance …

3 – making of objects used in the home

4 – physiological experience, menstruation, childbirth, and breastfeeding

5  – rootedness

6 – thought process
