EQUAL RIGHTS

When my daughter was small,
I overruled stereotyped children’s books.
If the picture and wording said this is for a girl,
I inserted: this is for anyone.


I was part of feminist and civil rights movement
that struggled for equal rights.
How long, dear God, before the same for my daughter
as exists for my son.
