You're not here anymore, you're not there anymore. It's strange, but true. Walking the halls everywhere your face. Who is she? Who was she? Sorry.

Inequality! I stand here, you hang there. Unfair? Don't think so. Just a lot of credit to you. Everywhere you are, with even your own life story, now that's what you call homage.

Are you coming back?

There is a country where women want to live. Really?! Are you there now?

Sorry for the language not you but you. I understand now. You're not coming back, are you? Dead, how sad. What a bad gift for someone who wanted to make change.

But it worked out anyway. Women more rights, not everything, but more. Or not, anyway. Would you say your work is being reversed?

In anticipation, in suspense, in terror, watching the rights you fought so hard for lately be taken away with 1 word, 1 vote, 1 Adam's apple.

Second, tick-tock by country. To the Enlightenment, on to the Renaissance, on to the Middle Ages? The traditional woman, dissatisfied with much frustration, mother and/or housewife. Sigh.

The discontented woman, you were not, you are, because you live on, in every woman.
