Women, we don't need to contort ourselves to fit into spaces that are too small for us.

From Zimbabwe by Tapiwa Mugabe
Black-and-white photograph of a book page containing a prose-poem. The text reads: “All she wanted was to find a place to stretch her bones. A place to lengthen her smiles and spread her hair. A place where her legs could walk without cutting and bruising. A place unchained. She was born out of ocean breath. I reminded her; ‘Stop pouring so much of yourself into hearts that have no room for themselves. Do not thin yourself. Be vast. You do not bring the ocean to a river.’”

Next week is the last week of classes here. As I say every semester, I try and end many of my history seminars with a quote from James Baldwin that answers the question of: why take humanities courses? (Time Magazine, May 24, 1963).
You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive. James Baldwin
