Feminism in the 21st Century
"Write, let no one hold you back, let nothing stop you: not man; not the imbecilic capitalist machinery, in which the publishing houses are the crafty, obsequious relayers of imperatives handed down by an economy that works against us and off our backs; not yourself. Smug-faced readers, managing editors, and big bosses don't like the true texts of women- female-sexed texts. That kind scares them". (Helene Cixous 1975).

A Mother's Love
When I look in the mirror I see a broken woman. A woman with unforgiving scars that curve around her wrists and ankles, waist and neck; courtesy of an unforgiving life. A woman whose belly sags from the bearing of a child that now lays at her feet, stranded on the cold floor. I see that child’s eyes, swollen from crying, its face, beet red with screams, and its golden curls, mocking me in their likeness to the father whom I did not choose.
