This is great, fascinating piece about E. M. Barraud, queer member of wartime Women's Land Army and Mass Observer. A 'distinctly non-binary' imagery is developed in her poetry and writing. Of special interest for @modernistudies.bsky.social @moderniststudies.bsky.social Weird Modernisms conf peeps.
