We hold like rights and shall;—

On Monday in the mall.
For what avail the plough or sail,
Or land or life, if freedom fail?”

“I don’t think America’s the center of the world anymore. I think African women will lead the way [in] ... women’s liberation ...

She’s not afraid that if she speaks up, her man will say goodbye to her.”
