"Nobody's Wife" is a poem by Katherine Mansfield, a prominent modernist writer known for her short stories and poetry. The poem explores themes of independence and self-identity, focusing on a woman's desire to be free from societal expectations and traditional roles. In the poem, the speaker asserts her individuality, rejecting the notion of being defined by her relationships with men. This declaration of autonomy highlights the struggle for personal freedom and the importance of self-acceptance in a world that often imposes limitations on women.
