Identity and marriage

I love the way Janie Crawford
left her husbands
the one who wanted to change her
into a mule
And the other who tried to interest her
in being a queen.
A woman, unless she submits,
is neither a mule
nor a queen
though like a mule she may suffer
and like a queen pace the floor.
Alice Walker  

+ check "Intersections: Crafting a Voice for Black Culture,"  where Walker talks about her predecessor as a spiritual grandmother here
