History

Why always his story? Why not her story?

What about Boudicca, widowed Celtic
Queen, and her seventy thousand Romans?
Didn't Sojourner declare 'Ain't I a
Woman' and Harriet guide the railroad?
Princess and poet, Enheduanna
Raised Inanna above all other Gods.
Sophie Germain worked proofs on exponents
Just as Betsy sewed the new rebel flag.

Why is her story demonized
Stigmatized, dismissed and rejected?
Eve didn't entice Adam with bondage,
Then force the wicked apple down his throat.
Margaret Sanger didn't pioneer
To destroy the sanctity of motherhood.
And Norma McCorvey only wanted
Her constitutional rights protected.
