Glass Coffin

Feminism, Consent

In this poem, the author speaks to an unnamed "bold knight" and flips the classic story of a man rescuing a damsel with a kiss by concluding with "happily ever after/means not waking to your lips". Surrounding this poem is a drawn picture of a women's face, an image of women in long skirts draped over each other, and the words "No Thanks" in the corner. The power to refuse a man's advances is a right highly valued in feminism and this page emulates that idea.
