b'Angelina Weld Grimk\\xe9 (1880-1958) was an African-American poet and playwright. Born into a prominent abolitionist family, her work often touched on themes of race and racism, at a time when women were rarely publishing work on the topic. Though she was never able to openly express her sexuality, much of her writing is coded in queer language.'
