Can anyone please help me in finding poems concerning feminism? And kindly tell me who are the famous feminist poets?

The adjective is feminist, not feministic by the way, but either way, try Silvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, Emily Bronte, Thylias Moss, Rita Dove, H.D (Hilda Doolittle), Amy Lowell (though I confess her a minor poet unless you are a feminist or queer theory critic), and Christina Rossetti. That's a nice range from Victorian times until today.

Seriously though, next time, since you are asking for something, do you mind taking the time to write out your post in a proper sentence/paragraph? It is only expected, since, after all, you expect us to do research for you.

Bronwen Wallace is a great example of a contemporary feminist poet.

Dear Sylph, try with Vita Sackville-West

Almost every female writer is by definition feminist in one way or another. The reason I excluded to stick links for contemporary ones is because those works are not in the public domain.
