Analysis of In Celebration of My Uterus

In Sexton's poem, In Celebration of My Uterus she applies her wit and humor. She is taking a very uplifting approach to a very serious topic of her struggles of being a woman. The idea of a woman's sexual orientation makes most people raise their eyebrows and cringe, but the way she approaches this poem makes you feel a bit more comfortable.  She also makes it clear to the audience that as a woman she wants to be more than just a symbol and necessity for men.  In the second stanza she is referencing the life a woman can create inside of her and how delightful that is.
