- Title
Feminist Manifesto Creative Explication.

- Abstract
Mina Loy's "Feminist Manifesto" was written in 1914, around the time of the modernist revolution in poetry in the United States. She penned this aggressively toned piece to open women's eyes to their place under the patriarchy and steps they should take, however drastic, to fight against its influence on their lives. Her work was unpublished during her lifetime, as it was intended merely as a letter to fellow writer Mabel Dodge Luhan. However, after its eventual publication in The Lost Lunar Baedeker, a collection of her poems, this fiery work was available to all. This paper will analyze the literary elements of tone, diction, and form found in the "Manifesto," as well as their effect. Additionally, these effects were attempted to be mimicked in a piece inspired by Mina Loy's work.
