She is of the strangest beauty
and the darkest courage,
and when she walks with intent
the earth trembles beneath her feet.

I couldn’t help thinking of these lines from “I’m a Woman” by Koko Taylor:
“My mama told me the day I was grown
She says “Sing the blues child, Sing it from now on”.
I’m a woman, oh yeah
I’m a woman, I’m a ball of fire
I’m a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I’m a woman, I can sing the blues
I’m a woman, I can change old to new
Spell w o uma n
Oh yeah
That means I’m grown
I’m a woman, I’m a rushing wind
I’m a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I’m a woman, I’m a love maker
I’m a woman, you know I’m an earth shaker”
