I was looking for the right name!

Thanks.

Thank you! Had not seen it before, got it now.

Sadly, I'm not surprised it was deleted from here. Hmm

We can't even write poetry about our experiences now, us mere women. Not if it offends the men.

Iris Child is the poet, yes, it's the one that was posted here. Here's the link: irischild.blogspot.com/2018/09/i-will-not-say-it-tran-i-am.html

Someone posted the words of the poem recently here and it was deleted.

Julia named the poet but I can’t find what I though I remembered online to link. Can you remember her name?

ToeToToe · 28/09/2018 23:15

Yes, I believe so.

Has anyone transcribed Julia's marvellous "Sam I Am" poem yet - because that should go down in history.

arranfan · 28/09/2018 22:53

Am I correct in saying that in the closing minutes of the meeting, somebody reported that Jess Bradley of NUS notoriety was at the Labour conference last week?

It was incredible. I’m a bit speechless tbh. And I’m not even there, I watched on YouTube. Amazing, all of them.

I love seeing women passionately and intelligently speaking about the things that mean something to them as women, I find it very inspiring. Must have been great to be there!

NewWomensMovement · 28/09/2018 21:08

MustBeDreaming · 28/09/2018 21:05

That was great! Grin I've been sat on youtube watching the live stream. Wish I were there with all of you for the after party but I'm raising a cider here in solidarity! Gin
