Duffy's early work included dramatic narratives with equally dramatic characters boasting a sharp wit and social critique (Poets). As for the topics and themes typically seen throughout her work, they include language and the representation of reality; the construction of the self; gender issues; contemporary culture; and many different forms of alienation, oppression and social inequality. She often writes in common, everyday language, making her poetry appear more simple than it truly is (Literature).

Duffy's works are typically associated with feminist movements, especially in the subversion of feminine roles in society. The women in her works have casual sex, discard marriage, smoke, drink, swear, and rebel against society’s expectations in order to subvert feminine archetypes (Tisha & Raman).
