When writing passage like this, it is important to make connections between the historical issues at hand and the current events that are shaped by these issues. Make sure to mention the culture of feminism back then.

Answer: In each of these pieces of writing, feminine identities are revealed as if they are unhappy with themselves. Within each piece of writing, they start to focus on their inner self, and accept things that cannot be changed, along with self checking themselves. Each of these focuses on the feminine figure really going deep within her inner self to find individualism and peace with herself.

In Sara Teasdale's work she focuses on a theme of inner reflection and isolation.

In "A Servant to Servants" the farm wife describes her isolated, unfullfilled, maddening life.

In "Aunt Imogen" she is unhappy with her choices in life to not get married or have children. She gets sad when she sees her sisters children because she didn't have children of her own. In the end she accepts that this is what she chose with her life.
