Exercise: Think about one of the two questions below. Take ten minutes to answer in the form you choose. It could be poetry. It could be an autobiographical story. Or it could be a sci-fi piece set two hundred years in the future.
What does it mean to be a woman out of bounds?
or
What are the boundaries hedging women in place?
I am a woman.
I will not be forced into a corner.
I will live, love, and laugh
a woman.
I will raise children, raise a roof,
and raise a fuss at the glass ceiling.
I will not allow myself to be fenced in,
forced to fit, or faint at adversity.
I am a woman.
