pickA fabulous and gripping account of one of the most prominent women cave divers. Her experience details overcoming adversity, pursuing excellence, achieving potential, and relates to every woman living in a world that does not cater to our progress. I find it incredibly refreshing and relatable to read writings of ♀️pioneers as I strive to live my most authentic and brave life. #adventure #brave #lady

#Lady
Such a powerful poem to be so short. I need to read more by him.
Excerpt from Lady Lazarus by Sylvia Plath
#lady #poetrymatters @TheSpineView
To A Lady Who Said It Was Sinful to Read Novels
To love these books, and harmless tea,
Has always been my foible,
Yet will I ne‘er forgetful be
To read my Psalms and Bible.
Travels I like, and history too,
Or entertaining fiction;
Novels and plays I‘d have a few,
If sense and proper diction.
I love a natural harmless song,
But I cannot sing like Handel;
Deprived of such resource, the tongue
Is sure employed — in scandal.
‘A Certain Lady‘ by Dorothy Parker.
