Baltimore born poet Adrienne Rich, whose poetry and essays were the foundations of modern feminism, is deceased at the age of 82. Here are some facts from her life here, as evidenced by the stories of The Sun:
Rich's father, a physician and professor at Johns Hopkins Hospital, used to give her poems to copy, and she was exposed to many of the great poets early in life.
She was a member of the Roland Park Country School Class of 1947. In the essay "Taking Women students seriously," published in her book "on lies, secrets and silence," she wrote of the school: "We were taken to libraries, museums, lectures ... given extra French or Latin read .. In .. a sort of cognitive dissonance, we knew that [teachers] were 'spinster' and therefore should be bitter and lonely,. but we saw them vigorously involved in the life "
In 1993 she returned to the city for the first time in 15 years. She remembered childhood trips to Lexington Market and eating crab cakes - like racism, homophobia and closed social system that is well bred non-Jews and some others are included.
"This visit has really started to focus on growing up in Baltimore," said Rich. "I had a wonderful childhood in many ways, but there was so much I just do not know.
