Poetry is a form of literary work that aims to express the poet's thoughts and feelings imaginatively. Poems are usually made based on life experiences or meaningful creative ideas, which are arranged in beautiful words. So often poetry also makes the story of women's lives as its theme. One of the poems that raises the theme of women's life stories with their problems is a poem by Rupi Kaur. Her poems were made into a book entitled Milk and Honey, which is her first book. In the book Milk and Honey, which contains a collection of poems, it describes the oppression, struggle, and success of women seeking their existence. This of course goes into feminism. Here I will analyze a poem by Rupi Kaur in her book entitled Milk and Honey with a feminism perspective.
Feminism is a women's movement to reject something that is marginalized, demeaned, and subordinated by culture, social, both in the public and domestic fields. Feminism was born with the aim of finding a balance between men and women, so that women are no longer treated unfairly in a patriarchal society. Patriarchy itself is a behavior that prioritizes men over women in certain societies or social groups. So, everything must get permission from the men in power first. Feminism fights for gender equality such that men or women get education as freely as possible or as high as possible, there is no different treatment in the world of work, have the same rights.
