A true story
of a rare victory
for women.
Set into the history of the 1600s,
there lived a woman by the name of Artemisia Gentileschi.
A painter she was.
A painter with a dream.
A dream she believed known one cared for
Until she met someone who cared.
But his care was a lie, a facade to take something from her
She thought herself weak
But little did she know of the bravery that laid awake between the tips of her hands
And the depth of her heart
This is the story of Artemisia Gentileschi.
You will cry. You will be furious. You will be taken aback. You will be contempt.
For this is a 1600s feminists victory against misogyny and rape
This story is perfect in its history, its lesson, and its depiction of Artemisia Gentileschi and her journey. Such fascinating work to capture a historical moment that should be much more appreciated.
And listen to me love, when a woman risks her place, her very life to speak a truth the world despises? Believe her. Always.
the poem was written in the form of a story without any complicating prose, metaphors or other figurative languages. Simple to read, understand, and enjoy. Can be read in a manner of hours, minutes even.
