The Glass Ceiling “Woe there sister, where do you think you're going? Turn around, go back, stop, cease, desist! Nothing for you above my see-through barrier.

Premium Member Rip the Glass Ceiling
Social evolution invented down the line selective and complex, customs skewed, placing men in the lead, women behind, for they are deemed the weaker gender, born unequal in the nonpartisan world under blue sky of freedom made for all, to obey silently all the time, subjugated. As the dark clouds of imposed illiteracy and obdurate poverty drift slowly away, the aspiration sun...

Premium Member Below the Glass Ceiling An Ode
Forbears,Edie,Kate and Ann furnished apiece with brush and pan.Each Victorian 'Miss' tied in service's abyss.Far off days,now long gone,their toil each day was lengthy and long.With fires to light,floors to scrub,and carpets to brush and drub.Mops forbidden,as they smeared the dirt and begrimed their prim alpaca aproned skirt.They cleaned 'his' tub,emptied 'her' commode,a regular...

Glass Ceiling
I was born in Green Valley, west of Liverpool, west of Sydney, Australia. It's like being born in the Bronx, or Tottenham, or Shankhill, or Govan in Glasgow. I might as well have been born there too. Where those of Green Valley's DNA Kiss the ground with a bent neck, and are proud to do so When they look up,...
