Carol Ann Duffy, The World's Wife Review

Good Points
How she mocks the characters in the poems.

Bad Points
She over exaggerates sometimes, and takes the whole female power thing out of control.

General Comments
I think that The World's Wife collection by Carol Ann Duffy is quite good and we are doing it at the moment in my English Lit class. Her ideas might be a bit over the top but so often women have been seen as being inferior to men (even now in the 21st century) and have not gotten enough credit and I think Duffy just wants to involve the women and makes sure that their voice is heard.
