Grace Paley, poet and social activist just died.
"The word 'gossip,' which is considered so terrible, is really ... it's just another way of storytelling," Paley said in a 1985 NPR interview. "And it's the way women tell stories, and it's kind of denigrated, 'cause its women who do it ... you know?"

The "you know" is her Bronx accent. She has a great voice. I met her when I was working in Vermont two years ago. Check out her work if you haven't yet.
