Examining women's poetry for intergenerational trauma's imprint and its reflection in scientific metaphors

Background
Can we better understand women's intergenerational traumas through poetry? If we consider poetry as the reflection of the free associations we made with words when we're young, can we use it to better understand the psyche of the author and therefore their traumas? I would like to study the poetry of women, from the first poetess to the present day, in order to see if we can find marks of the legacy of an intergenerational trauma. I am particularly interested in the impact of patriarchy on women. I would then like to observe how this legacy can translate into metaphors in science.
