Simply, as a society, we've made girls into boys, while dismissing any reverence we had for girls.The Wife/Mom explores possible answers to this dilemma by addressing communal stances on both visible and hidden, gender-based strata. Thi sassemblage of poetry puts front and center our culture's need to return to cherishing women as "women" and to esteeming "womanly" goings-on, per se. In these poems, females might be intrepid visionaries laboring in complex math, might be maestros of major orchestras, or might be Olympic athletes, but they are beloved first and foremost for being wome
