The present paper explores how contemporary women poets in Ireland and Galicia have engaged, for the last thirty years, in a critique of the Picturesque representations of landscape. Irish poets like Eavan Boland, Anne Le Marquand Hartigan or Mary Dorcey, and Galician ones like Luz Pichel, Chus Pato and Lupe Gomez draw our attention to the strategies through which power relations, as well as political and economic interests, shape space. These female poets also expose the ways in which gender difference affects our experience of landscape. A materialist approach helps us see the conditions of labour that are inscribed in those landscapes that much of the pastoral canon has represented as idyllic spaces for leisure. Besides, current ecofeminist debates contribute to this critique of the picturesque with their conception of the relative difference of nature.
