BOBBI'S RESEARCH

Invisibility is a dangerous and painful condition .... When those who have power to name and to socially construct reality choose not to see you or hear you . . . when someone with the authority of a teacher, say, describes the world and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked into a mirror and saw nothing. (Adrienne Rich, Invisible in Academe)
