Abstract

This article examines self-exposure in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “Pink Dog” through a feminist lens. The feminist approach examines literary works through the lens of gender in an attempt to subvert the established societal norms and long-standing values on the plea that they promote inequality between the two genders of society. Through this approach, the marginalized voices, as is the case with the female gender, are empowered. The ultimate goal of feminist theories is to subvert the traditional gender roles and to rebuild society on healthy terms, ensuring gender equality as well as social justice. Applying this method to Bishop’s “Pink Dog” will show how Bishop challenges the traditional roles assigned to both women and men under the patriarchal system.
