Doan Ket

I enjoyed reading Doan Ket the most. I feel that it is very empowering. The way that she speaks of "coming toward each other, with praise and hear, without reservations of space. All shining and alight in solidarity. Transforming the wound into bread and children. In a new abundance, a global summer. " And my favorite part, "Tall and crying out in song we arise in mass meadows." (Sueur, 339). These few lines say a lot to me. They are saying that we [working women] will not be quite any longer. We will come together and show you that we are great. She uses the word solidarity very often and I think that is saying that although they may seem to be alone and have things "worse" than those who are of a higher social class, but they are going to raise up in one voice and show the world that they are something and that they can be more.
