You’ve Tucked us        Women Away Janet Kuypers 9/8/19, on the day of the 1916 bid to prove that women were capable of serving as military dispatch riders, Augusta and Adeline Van Buren arrive in Los Angeles, after a 60-day, 5,500 mile cross-country motorcycle trip People say we can’t play with the big boys, like we don’t have the stones, when our stones are so much bigger, and have been polished over the years because we’ve handled almost everything you think we’re not strong enough, you think we don’t have the endurance, so, please, allow me to relieve this unease and please, allow me to give you the belief that these women can do what all the world needs. you’ve tucked us women away for millennia while we took care of you, your home, your family while you went out and acted so important and... what you never realized is that we women are important too we’ve proven that every day of our lives you just never noticed so, maybe it’s time for you to watch and see how we can really roar
