Women’s History
"The ongoing invisibility of women and girls is a serious issue for our country, and for the world.

I Dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago, And left no trace but the cellar walls, And a cellar in which the daylight falls, And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.
