More specifically: Why does Judith Butler dissect the notion of gender and share her thoughts? Why does Frida Kahlo paint what she paints? Why do these poets write about these topics and in the writing styles that they use? Your paper should also use a total of three literary terms from this week’s list to analyze the works.
