چکیده

Abstract: Écriture féminine, or "feminine writing," is a prominent theoretical concept in feminist critique, particularly in France. It describes a distinct feminine style that deviates from standard male styles .This paper aims to highlight the concept of écriture féminine in a selection of Anne Sexton's poems. She bravely tackles topics like pregnancy, the female body, and marriage from a feminine perspective. Her works can be analysed through the eyes of French feminist writers such as Helene Cixous, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Krestiva because of their strong emphasis on the female body. Sexton enters a traditionally male-dominated field, bringing new talent and perspective to the craft of poetry.
