A book of poetry, written simply about some things in life. | Started May 29th, 2021 | | Finished June 7th, 2021 |

This book contains cinquains dedicated to remarkable women throughout the course of history. Originally it was written for Women's History Month 2021 (with one poem for each day), but I have since decided to continue writing these as there are of course far more than 31 life stories to honour. Some names you might recognize, as some of the women included have (rightfully) gotten more recognition in recent years. And maybe you'll learn of a new story or two as well.
