A woman’s home was made of gingerbread
on her property, and her cats were fed
No man or kids; she was free
Threatening patriarchy
She wouldn’t convert, burned alive instead

Tina Turner: Contextualizing Visionaries
Vintage magazines from the catalog of General Media reveal that while our understanding of Tina Turner’s style and eventual impact deepened over her lifetime, her greatness was evident and influential immediately. While looking back we might assume there were infinite write ups about the splash made by Turner in the 1970s, instead her ubiquitous persona was referenced as an influence on other artists and pop culture itself.

Clever girl!
Woah, I call shenanigans! Anyone surrounded by a clowder of cats is in no way 'free'. You're spreading false hopes here! 🙀
Dang, weird that they didn't just let her be a spinster. If she's surviving on her own and desires to be alone as long as she's not breaking the law why would anyone want to pick one of her bones?
Oh damn! Probably one of my ancestors. I love it.
Yum, those toddlers were tasty. Alone in the woods in a cookie house covered with frosting and candies? I could do that! Love it
I love the fairytale and whimsical feel this poem has! I also liked the Hansel and Gretel reference! Great work!
