Rich argues that heterosexuality is imposed on women both forcibly and ideologically. There is an actual identifiable system of heterosexual propaganda, of interpreting women as existing for the sexual use of men, which extends beyond “sex role” or “gender” stereotyping or “sexist imagery” to comprise a great number of verbal and non-verbal messages. Her poetry presents a wide spectrum of lesbian experience and takes her concept of lesbian continuum to new heights.
