In England men appear to dominate the literary scene. Not only dominate but set the tone and the rules for what is and is not proper. Amorous Lady is a glorious poem that spits in the face of what is and is not proper. The woman that crafted this piece is not only fighting for the right to make artistic decisions as she chooses she is also fighting for freedom. This may seem like a stretch for some but I do not think so. Women have been taught conformity since the beginning of time. To buck against those standards and refuse to live and act as one chooses is a fight for freedom. My reaction to this poem is pleased. I was pleased by seeing such and assertion of equanimity from a woman so many years ago. Also by publishing outside of England this woman shows ingenuity. Not only is she taking steps to free herself from conformity she is also finding avenues to make her actions public. She will not be free in silence. The publishing of the piece shows other women what standing up for oneself and ones craft looks like.
