Adrienne Rich once wrote, “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.”
She was talking about the fact that some significant part of our self-perceptions, and the possibilities that we perceive for ourselves, depends on seeing people who we relate to and what they’ve accomplished.
