#art #history: o, the ignominy of admitting that i'm not extremely intimate with my subject's oeuvre...
still, she sounds so rad that i had to make sketchy ode to adrienne rich (born #otd in 1929). an essayist & poet who centred the oppression of women & lesbians in her work, adrienne was also a jewish pro-palestinian activist involved with the new #jewish agenda, which supported the #BDS movement.
