Know Your Place, Woman - Poem by Luciana Francis


know your place, woman
and that place is the world

know the ways of  the world
so you can take it on

know your worth so you can
go as far as you were made to go

don't forget where you came from
and don’t go back if you don't want to

know you battles and your blessings
and count them on

know about the women before you
and what they had to fight for

know your name, woman
and let it be known.

Welcome!

In this blog I intend to do some historical justice to the many, many women who have contributed with their genius, creativity, adventurous spirit, nurturing - amongst other qualities - to the apparent linear and male dominated prescribed notion of History. This is just the beggining.
