Walled Wife

Nicelle Daviss The Walled Wife unearths from the long-standing text The Ballad of the Walled-up Wife, a host of issues that continue to plague women in the contemporary world: the womans body as sacrifice; the womans body as tender or currency; the womans body as disposable; the womans body as property; the womans body as aesthetic object; the womans body unsafe in the world she must inhabit, and in the hands of the people she loves.
