Women Of Substance 01 - The Mother Comments

I had posted a note in reply to LeeAnn's comment. But, my note has disappeared. What happened, dear ph?

wow I didn't know this until I read this poem My g-d what awful way

This is where we need to appreciate Snehalata and her stand.

It is still a paternal, male dominated society. So the woman can not defy the dictums of the males in the family or even the society. It demands immense courage to do so.

The Indian woman lacks in education, financial stability, earning capacity and employability. So she is totally dependent on her male counterparts: husband or parents.

Thank You, Robert Murray Smith for rating this poem 5 stars

We now know that Snehalata is the only synonym for motherhood

To my readers, I request to read my poems (1] A Woman's Body' to which this poem can be considered as a sequel and (2) ‘Neither' Which may be considered as a sequel to this poem. Thanks to all.

Let us celebrate the grit, the resolve and the elevated motherhood of Ms. Snehalata Baral

To the government officials who visited her, Snehalata prayed for a job that pays just enough to take care of her child.
