Like a vineyard that produces much fruit. Or like an olive branch that produce many olives. Like a bird escapes from a trap. Or like arrows in the hand of a warrior. Like a mountain which sits unmoved forever. Or like mighty streams in dry desert. So shall it be for a woman whose crown shines forever. A woman strong and brave. Find her, stay next to her and see greatness forever.

It’s a new month. The Asante people of Ghana have a saying: Its a woman who gave birth to a man, it’s a woman who gave birth to king. I’m in the mood for all things great, all women give birth to. Whether kings or queens. Mothers or warriors. So here is to a month dedicated to all the history of all great women I come across this month.
