This exhibition highlights these forgotten women and illuminates their poetic contribution to the Women\u2019s Liberation Movement. Periodicals such as Sinister Wisdom, Heresies, WomanSpirit, Lavender Woman, and Conditions, gave marginalized women a voice in print. These periodicals were so effective in executing their goal that any woman could make a name for herself amongst the rising feminist community. Some women, such as Robin Ruth Linden and Judith McDaniel, started as poets and branched into other forms of expression. Others, like Jacqueline Lapidus and Martha Courtot, developed their poetic voices through the empowering space yielded by the Women\u2019s Liberation Movement.<\/p>\n<p>~Ava Irons<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Featured Poets:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/engl113-f18\/irons\/holly-lu-conant\/\">Holly Lu Conant\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/engl113-f18\/irons\/martha-courtot\/\">Martha Courtot\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/engl113-f18\/irons\/jacqueline-lapidus\/\">Jacqueline Lapidus\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/engl113-f18\/irons\/robin-ruth-linden\/\">Robin Ruth Linden\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/engl113-f18\/irons\/judith-mcdaniel\/\">Judith McDaniel<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/engl113-f18\/irons\/stepping-into-the-archives-sources\/\">Exhibition Sources<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some poet\u2019s names become immortalized over time, such as Audre Lorde, Judy Grahn, Cherr\u00ede Moraga, and Adrienne Rich, but others disappear into the archives.
