      I'm with you Raybeard - perhaps our ignorance is just a Brit thing?

      She may not have been as known across the pond, but in the LGBT community Audre Lordre was known as a writer, womanist, radical feminist, professor, philosopher, and civil rights activist. She was a self-described "black, lesbian, feminist, socialist, mother, warrior, poet," who "dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia.

      As a poet, she is well known for technical mastery and emotional expression, as well as her poems that express anger and outrage at civil and social injustices she observed throughout her life. As a spoken word artist, her delivery has been called powerful, melodic, and intense.

      For a change, this Brit knew who one of Mads' "local heroes" was/is. I don't always, of course, because obviously our own "rights campaign heroes" are better-known in the UK than American ones. If I was to post an "In Three Words" about, say, Peter Wildeblood (famously defied his anti-homosexual prosecutors in the scandalous Lord Montagu "indecency" case by publicly declaring his sexuality in court), Emmeline Pankhurst (founding "mother" of the Suffragettes) or John Archer (first black Mayor in the UK, elected in 1913 in Battersea), I would no doubt be met with similar bewilderment from Yanks.

      Jon, that is why I love these post. Not only to see what words people come up with to describe someone. but it brings new people to our education we may not know. Lately I have been getting some stumping ones.
