A Modern Breton Political Poet, Anjela Duval
This text seeks to contribute to women's studies by means of its focus on the compelling poetry of a woman who was little known outside her natal territory and wrote in a now-threatened minority language.

The poems themselves are presented in their original language and in translation, with appropriate annotations.
