             Introduction: The purpose of this seminar presentation is to analyse a poems feature content, theme and style and to deliver an interesting and informative analysis of a chosen poem. The poem chosen for today's presentation is "Woman to Man" by a respected Australian poet, Judith Wright, who is better known as a conservationist and campaigner for aboriginal rights.
             Judith Wright was born in 1915 and recently died in 2000 at the age of 85. Judith was well known for translating the Australian experience into poetry, which led to her best work. The title of her poem allows it to be read by either man or female.
             Judith Wright wrote "Woman to Man" for her husband whilst she was pregnant with their child. Wright's main purpose in writing "Woman to Man" was to convey her true feelings about the formation of her soon to be born baby. As her husband was her main intended target audience Judith Wright wished to express her feelings about the child they had created while it was growing and ever changing inside of her.
             Judith Wright was very brave in writing "Woman to Man" as it was published in 1949 when such issues of conception and pregnancy were not talked about openly in public. However, since Judith Wright was such a well regarded poet, she was successful in achieving a good reputation for expressing herself. So therefore she was able to write about this issue so openly in her poem "Woman to Man".
             Despite Judith Wright's most likely feministic stance, it is doubtful that she wrote the poem with the purpose of educating the male gender about pregnancy, instead its feasible she was attempting to share the happiness of creation that exists between two people "Woman & Man."
             Therefore Judith Wright was successful in her attempt in showing the joy of creation that exists between Woman and Man throughout her poem. (THIS IS MY CLAIM ABOUT THE POEM)
