Nicelle Davis's The Walled Wife unearths from the long-standing text "The Ballad of the Walled-up Wife," a host of issues that continue to plague women in the contemporary world: the woman's body as sacrifice; the woman's body as tender or currency; the woman's body as disposable; the woman's body as property; the woman's body as aesthetic object; the woman's body unsafe in the world she must inhabit, and in the hands of the people she loves.
