Judith Kazantzis, ‘Gadfly Poet Against Injustice,’ Has Died At 78

Kazantzis, born into a literary family (and a titled one – a privilege she steadfastly refused), “explored themes like the power relations between men and women and the abuses of power against the weak, and when it was first published in the 1970s, it resonated with an emerging new feminism — one that was giving a platform to women to express their repressed anger toward patriarchy, find a place in the literary establishment and, perhaps more important, connect with one another.”
