Answer 1

Answer:

A female poet of the Victorian era was Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Barrett Browning is one of the most respected poetesses of the Victorian stage. She wrote prolifically mostly poetry but also prose and translations. She campaigned for the abolition of slavery and her work helped to influence the reform of legislation on child labor. Her literary production had a great influence on prominent writers of the time, including Edgar Allan Poe and poet Emily Dickinson.

Barrett is generally considered the greatest English poet. Her works are full of tenderness and delicacy, but also of strength and depth of thought. Her own sufferings, combined with her moral and intellectual strength, made her an advocate of the oppressed wherever she found them.

Answer 2

Although all the writers above mentioned wrote poems (some wrote novels also) i'm guessing the correct answer is "Elizabeth Barrett Browning", because she was the most prominent female poet.
