In this essay we will analyze four poems by the Honduran poet, Clementina Suárez. The speaker is a subject in process according to Julia Kristeva’s theory; it represents the resistance and rebellion of women through antiesentialism, and it expresses an androgynous voice in her poetry. In this alternance between feminine and masculine tones, the poet condemns social injustices and sexism. By showing gender ambiguity in her poems, Clementina presents the marginality in which women lived in the social and intellectual context of her time.
