A Father of Women, and Other Poems
1917
A Father of Women, and Other Poems is a poetry collection by Alice Meynell, first published in 1917. The poems explore themes of loss, love, femininity, and the impacts of World War I, reflecting on the emotional landscape shaped by conflict. Notable works include the titular poem, which addresses the influence of fathers on their children, and others like 'Nurse Edith Cavell,' which juxtaposes beauty in nature with human suffering. Meynell's rich imagery and emotive language evoke the fragility and resilience of life.
