Lillian Allen

“Lillian Allen is a vocal resistor who has broken many barriers of silence about female culture and identity. She has utilized her voice and her poetics to challenge explicitly and implicitly, the power relationship within society, between men and women and among women. She dared to be different, to call into question norms of society. Allen has stood up for her rights, followed her inner voice, her truth and her spirit. In so doing, she has validated not only her own existence but the existence of female culture.”
