maybe the fact that the girl's mother is not represented or talked about in the text.
Also, if you presume that the child is a girl, we see the girl breaking free from her father in "Barn Owl"

By the Top Notes book on Gwen Harwood from Angus and Robertson/Dymocks. It's a pink coloured book, it's quite detailed and about $11.

to get better marks you should not be looking to regurgitate a reading already done by someone else, but come up with your own stuff. Instead, I suggest you do research into what feminist critics look for and then apply it to the poems.

agreed with Emph. but in my opinion a feminist reading of Father and Child subtracts from the entire universal issues and themes that also make up the poem.
