What it means to be a Woman
No, I do not want roses or chocolate.
I just want equal rights and equal pay.
I do not want you to call me a princess.
That's not the point of 'Women's Day'.
A simple piece of jewellery is not enough.
For our ancestors fought with their might.
Because of the suffragists and suffragettes
women have been granted a voting right.
If you must gift me, I ask you for respect.
Don't ever tell me to calm down or to smile.
Marriage and kids shouldn't be my sole focus.
I'm a warrior. I'm a woman. I'm worthwhile.
Β©Tania Carina Pires
I wrote this poem in honour of International Women's Day, which is on Sunday.

book cover of Dissolution by C J Sansom with two photographs of the ruins of Basingwerk Abbey in North Wales alongside
my five star review is below
This is a truly superb historical fiction Murder mystery storyline set in the Tudor period by C J Sansom.
Matthew Shardlake is sent by Thomas Cromwell to investigate the death of a fellow Commissioner which has taken place within a monastery.
Events soon transpire there, which lead to more sinister discoveries and danger lurks everywhere. Can Shardlake discover the truth, but at what cost will it be.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
This is a superb Historical Fiction #Read which was recommended to me by @yorkshirecarly.bsky.social
