Abstract

By means of her poems and short stories, Lorna Goodison reflects the evolution of the Caribbean woman: the acceptance of her past and her appearance, that is, the acceptance of her identity. Slavery, beauty and motherhood are recurrent topics among her works. Goodison represents a physical but also mental slavery (slavery to the beauty coming from the American society as opposed to the Caribbean beauty) and final freedom and acceptance of her identity as a woman and mother.
