FEMINISTS
REVOLUTIONARY MILLENNIAL FEMINISTS
My mother is one +at soon to be 93 she wears her
feminism like a beatified Saint Joan She alone taught
me the girlropes She was always way ahead of her time
Be smart
Go to school +keep going +going
Be brave+bold in ways you couldn’t be in 1940
Respect your body
Hold your head high
For chrissakes learn how to use a computer!
(she began 10 yrs. before me..)
Joie de vivre is real beauty
It’s ok to be pretty fashionable smart +tough as nails
It’s ok to leave relationships that don’t work make you hurt
or demean you
You’re nobodies slave
When I told her that there was a time in history when God
was a Woman her response was righteous indignation When
was that? she spat It was before our time but you’ve kept
Her spirit alive against all odds +She roams free in all of
your girl progeny
