Écriture féminine, or "feminine writing," refers to a distinctively feminine writing style characterised by textual disturbances such as gaps, silences, puns, new images and so on. Écriture feminine depicts a specific feminine style that is different from the typical male one. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the concept of écriture féminine in a collection of poems by Carol Ann Duffy, the first woman poet laureate of the United Kingdom. The poet brilliantly covers a wide range of stereotypical feminine qualities and identities. Duffy's poetry challenges patriarchal oppression of women and advocates for equal representation in all aspects of society.
