Abstract

This essay aims at a feminist interpretation of Marlene Nourbese Philip’s collection of poems She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks from three dimensions, namely “i-mage” of African Caribbean women, the genealogy of women and maternal myths, to interpret Philip’s feminist authorial intentions and ideological pursuits.
