Yeats is my buddy. We've been through fifteen years together, at least, and I adore his Celtic Twilight work, but I do see how the Cathleen Ni Houlihan thing is objectifying of women, etc. etc., and I like that Boland and others reject that and make Ireland their own subject.
If you're interested in checking out more of her work, I recommend In a Time of Violence. It's the only one I have (besides her kinda-sorta autobiography, Object Lessons), but it's still one I keep going back to every once in a while.
