Voices of Inclusion Through Time

In the annals of time, their voices resound,

Women who forged paths where none were found.

From the depths of oppression, they rose,

Champions of inclusion and vanquishing foes.

First, let us speak of the Sojourner Truth's grace,

A former slave, she found her place.

With words like thunder, she proclaimed,

"Aren't I a Woman?" Her voice was untamed.

Harriet Tubman, a beacon of light,

Led slaves to freedom through the darkest nights.

Her courage blazed trails, unwavering, bold,

Inclusion of her creed, her story told.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a visionary mind,

Fought for suffrage and the rights of her kind.

With Susan B. Anthony, side by side,

They battled for justice, undignified.

Rosa Parks, whose quiet defiance spoke loud,

On that Montgomery bus, she stood proud.

Her simple act sparked a flame,

Igniting a movement is never the same.

Audre Lorde, with poetry as her sword,

Championing intersectionality's accord.

Lifting marginalized voices, she fought,

For inclusion in every thought.

Malala Yousafzai, a symbol of hope,

Defied oppression, refusing to mope.

Her voice, like a beacon, pierced through,

Demanding education for women, anew.

And Maya Angelou, with words that soar,

Sang of caged birds longing for more.

Her verses echoed through history's halls,

Championing inclusion and tearing down walls.

From suffragettes to civil rights,

Their struggles and their victories ignite.

Their legacy lives in the hearts of us all,

Echoes of equality, answering the call.

In every age, in every land,

Women rise, hand in hand.

Their stories are woven in history's loom,

Guiding us towards a brighter, inclusive gloom.

Let us remember, honour, and strive,

For inclusion and diversity to thrive.

For the tapestry of humanity to be whole,

We need stories of women, untold.
