"Shrinking Women"- Lily Myers

This slam poet named Lily Myers observes her family history. The influence from her mother shapes her perception of women's bodies. In her family, the women have been smaller than the men for her entire life. Lily tries to examine why in this beautiful, yet heartbreaking poem. The text of the poem can be found in the videos description. The original link can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQucWXWXp3k
