Modestly dressed,
she only dreams of wearing less.
Her husband works and controls the money.
And she stays home and cooks and raises the children.
Her days are the same.
At dances, she looks at other women with longing.
Her youngest son beams up at her and her daughter takes her hand, bringing her back to the present.
Someday woman will have a voice and more rights.
Someday.
“She only dreams of wearing less”—a part of feminist freedom that many women yearn for. Not often discussed in wide circles , yet it’s a deeply felt yearning for many of us. Thank you for enunciating this longing.
