During her spoken-word performances, audience have responded strongly to Sarah Kay's poemThe Type. As Kay wrote recently in The Huffington Post: "Much media attention has been paid to what it means to 'be a woman,' but often the conversation focuses on what it means to be a woman in relation to others. I believe these relationships are important. I also think it is possible to define ourselves solely as individuals. ... We have the power to define ourselves: by telling our own stories, in our own words, with our own voices."
