Women in Poetry

Anna Akhmatova ​

Anna Akhmatova was one of the most significant Russian poets of the 20th century. She was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in 1965 and received second-most (three) nominations for the award the following year.
​
Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935–40), her tragic masterpiece written as a response to the imprisonment of Anna's son, during which time she stood in a line outside of the jail every day for seventeen months waiting for news.
