This poem I read seemed to have many different philosophical interpretations. I would like to see the different interpretations of the general public. ~It's a Women's World~ By Eavan Boland Our way of life has hardly changed since a wheel first whetted a knife. Maybe flame burns more greedily and wheels are steadier, but we're the same: we milestone our lives with oversights. living by the lights of the loaf left by the cash register, the washing powder paid for and wrapped, the wash left wet: like most historic peoples we are defined by what we forget as far as history goes we were never on the scene of the crime. When the king's head gored it's basket, grim harvest, we were gristing bread or getting the recipe for a good soup. It's still the same: our windows moth our children to the flame of hearth not history. And still no page scores the low music of our outrage. Appearances reassure: that woman there, craned to the starry mystery, is merely getting a breath of evening air. While this one here, her mouth a burning plume - she's no fire-eater, just my frosty neighbor coming home

Had to do it in English, I hated it, I knew The Charge of the Light Brigade like the back of my hand. I believe I'll have to an exam eventually as well. I'm not that bad at it mind, but I don't enjoy it.

I didn't really read it very closely but it sounds like it's about the suppression of women and them being written out from history?
