A Small Attempt to be a Specific Woman, But Really Doesn't Mean Anything, Just Ignore Me by Emma Goldman-Sherman

"Is there a Better way to be a Mother?/other than making that child the Center of the world?"
I applaud this piece with my entire being and ache as I recognize parts of myself in this apologetic woman. A beautiful, challenging, poetic piece for an actress of a certain age (50+) that doesn't reduce her to grandmother or washed-up woman, but instead, a woman actively doing the washing up for those around her. An A+ metaphor for womanhood today but hopefully not for the womanhood of tomorrow. Strong works such as this by writers such as Goldman-Sherman give me hope. ”
