Though “feminist poet” isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Margaret Atwood (“brilliant novelist” is what we come up with), maybe it should be. Though Atwood never purposefully positioned herself as being part of the feminist movement proper, it sort of crept up on her. “I began as a profoundly apolitical writer,” she once said, “but then I began to do what all novelists and some poets do: I began to describe the world around me.”
