WATCH: Ashley Judd Recites Franklin Teen's Poem at Washington Women's March

FRANKLIN, TN — Actress, activist and Williamson County resident Ashley Judd gave a spirited recitation of a poem called "Nasty Woman" at Saturday's Women's March on Washington, a piece written by fellow Williamson Countian Nina Donovan, a 19-year-old Franklin High School graduate and student at Columbia State Community College.

Donovan said she was inspired to write the poem after Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton was "such a nasty woman" at the final presidential debate in October.

Donovan said her intention was to reappropriate the phrase — a linguistic move that was widespread among Clinton supporters in the waning days of the campaign that has continued, with "Nasty Woman" signs and t-shirts extremely popular during the weekend's women's marches.

"The second [Trump] called Hillary [Clinton] a nasty woman, I said, "Oh man, I've got to write a nasty woman piece,"" Donovan told The Tennessean. "I reclaimed it."

Donovan first performed the poem publicly at a poetry slam at Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music in December, which, it just so happens, Judd attended.

After Donovan's performance, Judd asked her if she could perform the poem at the march, the poet told WTVF. And indeed Judd did, crediting Donovan before launching into the poetic polemic, which is highly critical of Trump, playing with the theme that a nasty woman is less nasty than Trump himself, chiding the president for his skin tone and hair, as well as his policies and campaign rhetoric.
