The name of this tumblog (“Defiant Musings”) comes from a collection of anthologies featuring feminist poetry in different languages from the Middle Ages to the present. In their release notes to the series, the Feminist Press notes that “the poets write of love and friendship, revolution and peace, religion, nature, isolation, work, and family.” It is designed as a complement to my longer blog -- as a place to hold items that are too short for a blog post but too long for Facebook or Twitter.
