In The World’s Wife, a poetry collection created by Carol Ann Duffy, she subverts the dominant idea of men and their views as being better and more significant. She envisions the feelings and thoughts of the wives of the men who are deemed ‘excellent’ for their profession, whether it is the area of science(s) or literature. She additionally reviews wives from folklore, mythology and Western history providing them with a voice in a more modern setting/perspective. Duffy brings them out of the darknesses and sets a gleaming spotlight on them in her revisionist poems. Within her poems, Duffy also uses the wives and heroines of history and remodels them to articulate the inequality they have suffered previously and how numerous versions of the identical inequality remain today. The characters and their occurrences are relatable to the reader.
