Mari Evans - Women’s History Month - Day One

March is Women’s History Month!

I’ve decided to recognize this month with a Woman a Day post.

Some of these women you probably have heard of, but some will likely be new. Some of these women may be problematic, because women are flawed humans.

All of these women have been a voice, in one way or another, for women’s rights, women’s liberation and a figure in women’s history.

They all deserve a closer look.

For today, I’m going to start with Mari Evans.

Evans is a poet I was recently introduced to, and I’ve fallen in love with her work. Harsh, stark, and powerful, her work, like the best poets among us, speaks to the truth of the human condition.

Here are a few places you can find more info on Mari Evans:
