Placement of couple of names
Was editing and starting to organize some of the names better, but had a question about two names:
 * Fehmida Riaz (born 1946), Urdu writer, poet, and feminist of Pakistan
 * Kishwar Naheed (born 1940), Urdu poet from Pakistan known for her pioneering feminist poetry

These are in the E–K section, but wasn't sure whether they needed to be there or not. Can someone point out which of these is their last names? Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 02:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Also look at:
 * Parveen Shakir (1952-1994), Urdu poet, teacher and a civil servant of the Government of Pakistan
 * Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 03:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Feminist cred
This list needs to be cleaned up some. There are no references given and several of the entries do not have anything mentioning feminism on their Wiki articles. Especially for some WP:BLP issues, these should probably be taken out. Being labelled a feminist may be somewhat subjective, but it should at the very least be cited on their article. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 18:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Often list articles like this do not have a whole lot of references (which is fine). I've added a lead section and a couple of references though. I don't know what is meant by 'BLP issues', but if taken broadly, I don't think that poets necessarily need to be feminists or have feminist themes in their poetry to be listed here. The term 'feminism' only came to be widely used in the 19th century and the very act of composing verse could have been considered a feminist act, at least at the time. If this list should grow too large, we can certainly look at setting up some inclusion criteria. If there are specific instances of contemporary poets listed here who are not remotely feminist, those entries could be removed. Gobōnobō  + c 21:43, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Judith Hall (poet) meets "feminist writer" requirements for this article
New addition to this article, Judith Hall (poet) has a whole body of focused feminist poetry-- but it is (until corrected) only covered AT THE BOTTOM of her Wikipedia article. So please look there when assessing her for inclusion in this article.

She has also been an active feminist writer since (at least) ~1981. Probably much earlier.
