Shadows In A Timeless Myth Presents The Rhyme Of Militant Women

Suffragettes and Militants

Hippolta, Chingtse, Hatshepset, Penthesilea,

Maria Teresa and Joan,

Agustina and Boadicea

And other militant girls of times we've known--

It would take a brave man and a dull one

To say to these ladies:

"Of course We adore you while you are meek, 

Timid, clinging, silent and weak,

But a woman can never use force...

And needs to watch how she speaks!"

                                 Adapted from a Suffragette Poem For Her Son

Compiled From Sources In The Public Domain.

My historical fantasy Shadows In A Timeless Myth is filled with vignettes featuring women who dared to fight. In fact, if the book has one overriding theme, it is stories of women dealing with adversity and challenges.

Smiles & Good Fortune,
