a poem for you from my book Artemis Made Me Do It.
[image of a poem from the book Artemis Made Me Do It by Trista Mateer.] Teach your daughters to say “no.” Teach your daughters to raise their voices. Teach your daughters to make waves. To value safety over politeness. To yell fire instead of help. Teach your daughters to feel comfortable in their own bodies. Teach your daughters to live without shame. Teach your daughters to hit first. To bite back. To burn the world down when they are mistreated. Teach your daughters to out their abusers. To be deadly serious. To be dangerous. To be sure. To know what they want. Teach your daughters to take a stand. To be bold. To be brave. Teach your daughters to believe in a better world. And then tell them they deserve one. Say, you do not have to suffer like I have suffered. Say, the legacy of girlhood does not have to be one of pain.
