In 'The Woman Poet: Her Dilemma' (1986-7), the Irish poet Eavan Boland argued that women poets were obstructed on the one hand by traditional ideas of femininity and poetry, and on the other by the demands of separatist feminism. In 'Dilemmas and Developments: Eavan Boland Re-examined' Sarah Maguire argues that in recent years women poets have clearly achieved greater confidence as a result of changes in their audience. However, the underlying dilemma facing a woman poet - that of the tension between the demands of femininity and the role expected of a post-Romantic lyric poet - continues to remain unresolved
