An ode to Emma

Somewhere in Amsterdam was a woman who inspired.

With great passion, she dedicated herself to the culture of this city.

But especially for the forgotten women we are supposed to appreciate.

Only, should she not be forgotten; did she ever have an ode herself?

From a distance, she beamed - as did her skin, by the way - and with pants that looked familiar to us.

(Otherwise, they simply look very much like them).

To here she brings existing and other stories, like the brand of her pants: & Other Stories.

With her in the lecture hall, you certainly won't be bored.

In the last hour you have been thinking about beautiful women, but guaranteed this one.

You sit in front of her.

To her you look up.

And tell me, what could be more feminist than paying tribute to the women of Amsterdam?

Nothing.
