"We are female human beings poised on the edge of the new millennium. We are the majority of our species, yet we have dwelt in the shadows. We are the invisible, the illiterate, the laborers, the refugees, the poor.
And we vow: no more.
We are the women who hunger- for rice, home, freedom, each other, ourselves.
We are the women who thirst- for clean water and laughter, literacy and love.
We have existed at all times, in every society. We have survived femicide.
We have rebelled- and left clues.
We are continuity, weaving future from past, logic with lyric.
We are the women who stand in our sense, and shout Yes.
We are the women who wear broken bones, voices, minds,
hearts- but we are the women who dare whisper No.
We are the women whose souls no fundamentalist cage can contain.
We are the women who refuse to permit the sowing of death in our gardens, air, rivers, seas.
We are the women men warned us about.
We are each precious, unique, necessary. We are strengthened and blessed and relieved at not having to be all the same. We are the daughters of longing. We are the mothers in labor to birth the politics of the 21st Century."
-Robin Morgan and friends
