Marginalized literature is literature which related to a group of people that is in a margin, not experiencing much freedom as other literatures or welcome by everybody. Marginalized literature basically is about people expressing their opinions, thoughts, voices so that the society can understand their thoughts and feelings of being in the marginalized group. Literature which relates to feminist writings and writings that belong to ethnic minority groups are some examples of marginalized literature.
In class, we learned “For My Husband” and “The Rose” by Erica Jong, and “Becoming a Woman” and “Offering” by Hilary Tham. These are poems and are considered marginalized because they are female writers where their works are also about feminism. “For My Husband” is about a wife writing her feelings and thoughts of love to her husband. As for “Becoming a Woman”, it is a process of a woman growing up and how she has to manage her monthly period. There are issues which are related to women. “Offerings” is about heartbreak due to rejection and “The Rose” is about skepticism about love. These two poems are related to relationship and how the women view relationship in a way that may be heartbreaking or lack of trust in a love relationship.
