i dare say this poem was written by a woman

.

“What does Woman want?”
is not a question
you need to ask.
Instead, ask: How can
woman be curbed, how
kept at her task?

How can she be made
to know her place? Must
her ears be cropped?
The way she uses
her wits, her wiles! How
can she be stopped?

Was it wise to let
this genie out of
the bottle? See
man in chains, woman
his master! Is this
how things should be?
