READING "A STRONG WOMAN" BY MARGE PIERCY
A Poem to Remind Women of our Inherent Strength
This poem is a reminder to all women of the strength we carry inside us. This is the strength that rises from the core of a woman's pain and courage. It isn't easy. It isn't heroic, in the way we normally think of heroism. It's the strength of woman defying a culture that wants to diminish her. It is the strength of woman "determined to do something others are determined not to be done." Above all, it a reminder that as women, we are stronger together.
