The value of a woman

We write in vain, sometimes I feel. What change do we bring about by writing?

We have people suppressing resistance. We have people burying the truth, promoting hatred, promoting bigotry. We try as we can with our words. But do they penetrate their cloud of misinformation?

Sometimes I feel powerless. I am a woman. A single, divorced, childless woman in her late 30’s. In this Country, that means I have no value. My words, my thoughts, my opinions have no value. Yet I want to bring change to this Country. How is one to do that when inherently as a person I hold no value in these people’s eyes?

There is so much I want to say to them. Will they listen to me, I wonder?

Your thoughts?
