I, a Woman

By Barbara J. Waldern

This is a collection of 16 poems on the themes of identity and social concerns written in Autumn, 2016. It encompasses what elements of womanhood I identify with and how, such as fashion, work, desire, media and relations with men. Of course, the topic of violence is covered, too. The titles of individual poems include: I, a Woman, Force, Labour of Love, Damned Straight! and It's my Body! Not only do I express my gender and sexual orientation identity, but I also express my regard for the women's movement.
