“The Book Woman’s Daughter”

Monsters…”you can kill the one under the bed, but there are always a few more in the back of the closet waiting.” (286)

Miscegenation (marriage or cohabitation between two people from different racial groups).

Women’s rights.

Power.

Women working men’s jobs.

Struggle.

Abuse.

Emancipation.

HATRED.

Why do we fear what we don’t understand? Why do we perpetuate hatred, based on that fear? What is it we are really afraid of? How is one’s struggle to survive a call to react with violence? To stand in judgment? The common denominator is always that we are all human beings. To be treated with respect.

Books.

“But your mother changed all that with the books…

Books are the cornerstone to greater minds.” (307)
