salemwitchtrials:[ID: excerpt from ‘Womens Stories of the Looking Glass: Autobiographical reflections and self-representations in the poetry of Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, and Audre Lorde’ by Carmen Birkle“She writes like a man” does not mean she writes with all her energies. It means she can think, organize, judge, even argue, but will not embarrass us with messy female emotions. Whoever “writes like a man” but not a man is pretending not to have a body, or passions, unlike the men who write like men.”] -- source link
