TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Can a poem be a shield? A weapon? A light? JO - Violence against women A1 - Georges, Danielle Legros SP - 1812 EP - 1816 VL - 26 IS - 14 N2 - I think what unites the given poems is a desire to interrogate oppressive language used as an attempt to regulate the power/humanity of or to control women, particularly Black and Brown women, myself included.
