Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung

British poetry after 1945 has seen many changes not only concerning themes but also concerning the writers of poetry. While there was not much women, gay and lesbian poetry before the 1960s, women, gay, and lesbian writers came to the notice in the early 1960s. Ever since the 1960s, more women and homosexual poets have published their poems than ever before and forced their way into the mainstream. Nevertheless, as members of a minority group in writing, they all have to carry a burden. Therefore, writers express their concerns through their every day experiences, but want to challenge their being as writers of a minority group in order to be acknowledged as mainstream writers.
