Sounds like Lois Cook from the Fountainhead:

from cliff notes description of the “great” Lois Cook character:

Character Analyses
Lois Cook

Lois Cook is an outstanding example of the meaning of nonconformity. She defies social belief in beauty, attractive living quarters, and even personal hygiene. In this regard, she is far worse than Guy Francon, for he uncritically follows the best of society’s norms where Cook rebels against them.

Worse than this is her incoherent style of writing. She rebels against grammar, meaning, and intelligibility. Her book has no discernible meaning, yet she postures as a profound thinker.

The following is a transcript of the inaugural poem recited by Elizabeth Alexander

"...Praise song for struggle; praise song for the day. Praise song for every hand-lettered sign; The figuring it out at kitchen tables..."
