Abstract

This research delves into the profound and intricate role of the Filipino woman in society, focusing specifically on the perspectives of Boholana writers through their poetic works. By employing textual and thematic analysis, this study offers an in-depth examination of feminist poems, aiming to construct a comprehensive reading and writing model for poetry. Through a qualitative lens, the research examines the roles and prevailing emotions depicted in the poems of three Boholana poets, unraveling their artistic descriptions of the Filipino woman. The findings of this literary investigation demonstrate that Boholana poets possess a nuanced understanding of the Filipino woman, presenting her not merely as a submissive companion, but as a leader within both the household and society. It becomes evident that the Filipino woman assumes diverse roles, with her self-worth affirmed by her family and community. Furthermore, this research emphasizes the significance of reading poetry as a pathway to a deeper comprehension of culture and tradition. It establishes that by engaging as readers, individuals can also cultivate their own creative writing skills. Thus, this study highlights the intrinsic link between poetry, cultural understanding, and personal expression.
