Gwerful Mechain
Gwerful Mechain, who lived in Mechain in Powys during the 1400s, is perhaps the most famous female Welsh-language poet. Little is known of her life. Her work, written in the traditional strict metres, is often a celebration of religion and sex, sometimes within the same poem. Probably the most famous part of her work today is her erotic poetry, especially Cywydd y Cedor ("Ode to the Pubic Hair"), a poem praising the vulva.
