What does being a woman mean?
It is resisting,
It is learning,
Making and breaking rules.
It is standing up to a society,
Where your body is seen as an object,
And using that body,
To create change.
It is arriving at tables,
Where we were barred from sitting at before,
And taking space.
Being a woman is not frailty,
It is strength,
And I will take this collective strength,
And make it my own.
