I think this could be a very useful list for people doing Women's Studies or related courses. Bmills 14:57, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Women poets or woman poets? DJ Clayworth 15:12, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Explain, please? I mean poets who happen to be women, basically. But I'm just as happy with women who happen to be poets. Bmills 15:16, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I believe to be grammatically correct 'women poets' is the plural of 'woman poet'. Francs2000 16:25, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I think Francs2000 is right; I recently added Women Writers Project and wondered the same thing. I resolved it by reasoning that the project's been going for 17 years and they probably know the rules of English pretty well ;)
You may want to look for poets in the list of works they've converted. Tualha 13:50, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I guess you wouldn't say man poets. Bmills 14:11, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Can we move this to List of female poets? —Eloquence

Doesn't this page duplicate what's in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Women_poets ? Syosset 00:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I believe "Women poets" is perfectly correct and normal usage. As in:

etc. etc.

(And I was raised by someone who was very particular in such matters. I'm convinced that the main reason why my mother always bought all my clothing at the County Boys' and Men's Shop is that she was so thrilled that they put the apostrophes in the right places.) Dpbsmith 02:01, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)
