In your own words, describe the tone of "Women." Identify the origins of the tone based on what you can infer about the life experience of the speaker. How does the speaker communicate her attitude through her words? Use at least two examples from the poem to support your response.
The tone of "Women" is a inspired and grateful tone. The speaker probably had a hard life, working everyday just to be able to barely feed her family. The poem shows inspiration of women over the world, working hard every single day. The speaker uses words that are easily related and understood. The words are simple, but together, it shows the tone of inspiration shows. "How they knew what we/Must know/Without knowing a page/Of it/Themselves," shows that the hard work that pays off, it's not for them but for the children. The women who work to let their kids have what they have today, they've never had that privilege. Even though they never had it, they work their hardest to let their kids be able to have that kind of privilege. How they led/Armies/
Headragged generals/Across mined/Fields/Booby-trapped/Ditches/To discover books/Desks/A place for us." Shows that the women works hard like soldiers. They are like soldiers who battle through, work through their everyday life. Fighting for what is right, working for what is right for their children and future generations. What they do isn't for a prize, but for their kids to have a place to go to school and learn. Become a better person, and make themselves a somebody.
