Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the works of Angolan women poets published after 2000. Their poems were not deeply analyzed by literary critics whose analytic efforts are focused on the works of well-known authors such as Ana de Santana, Alda Lara and Ana Paula Tavares. This article focuses on the more recent development stages of Angolan women poetry through the poems of not yet very famous poets such as Amélia Dalomba, Maria Celestina Fernandes, Leila dos Anjos, Ana Branco, Alice Palmira, Carla Queirós, Cecília Ndanhakukua and Kanguimbo Ananáz. The will of transforming the world through writing and the deep conviction that literature has an important social role to accomplish are the evidence of the feminist ideological engagement of these poets.
