She Let Herself Go

Meer over het boek

Exploring the evolution of identity, this collection delves into the life of a woman navigating various roles such as girlhood, wifehood, motherhood, and writerhood. Through a blend of humor and insight, it critiques cultural expectations shaped by family stories, gender norms, and myths. Drawing inspiration from Virginia Woolf and engaging with influential feminist poets like Muriel Rukeyser and Grace Paley, the work offers a discerning and often irreverent perspective on the poet's journey and the complexities of womanhood.
