SocialistStories حكايات اشتراكية

This poem is one of the best pieces of literature concerning women I have read in any context. It is very detailed and socially conscious, as Ahuti's poems tend to be. Ahuti describes marriage, domestic labor, and the social conditioning of women so well and so beautifully, that it will surely bring tears to your eyes. Here is the short section about social conditioning, and you can download the whole poem below:

"As you came into this world
so came men
but as it would mold men brave and strong
it would mold you fearful and weak
father teaches little brother
wrestling
while mother teaches you
plaiting
after all this cruel instruction
you turn half human
half caged mynah
so too a man turns
half human
half hunting falcon"
