Book: The Beauty Myth
Author: Naomi Wolf
Last line
The next phase of our movement forward, as individual women, as women together, as tenants of our bodies and this planet, depends now on what we decide to see when we look in the mirror.
What will we see?
Poem
we will see
everything
we’ve been trained
not to see
carriers of future generations
refusing incarceration
of role boundaries
wanting full expression
of individuality
and knowing
what we want
preservers of culture
writing new rules
with color-changing ink
of freedom
redefining norms
which bend and stretch
to accommodate the soul
we will witness
planet renewal
as tenants transform
fluid lanscapes
paint colors
beyond rainbows
on ethereal backdrops
really like the poem, if I may say

mind was blank
and they taught
us how we should be
but we learned
all too soon
not to shoot the moon!
