meanwhilepoetry:

A woman’s tale should be told in her voice. Her valour, her fury, her wisdom, her survival, her intellect, her strength is no less than any man’s. Her failures, regrets and her flaws too, must be heard through non judgemental ears. But for this to happen, you must be able to truly hear her story. Even if it makes you uncomfortable. Even if it changes how you see her. We can be everything. Maiden, myth and monster.
