For Women

1. Lines one & two the poet is alluding that the girl is not ready to have a baby.
2. In line five the reference to Mason-Dixon is saying that she crossed over the division line that seperated South and North.
3. Line fifteen when poet is refering to the line, "when the rainbow's enuff"? is meaning to say that she has had enough of everything.

Ain't I a woman?

1. The person the author is reffering to when they say "man" is a white man.
2. When author says "or over mud puddles" it means that no one ever helped her over mud puddles.
3. Author says "I have plowed and planted" is reffering to that she works really hard.
4. When author says "And no man could head me." It means nobody could do that work better than her.
5. When author refers to the "little man in black" Its refering to a priest.
6. The famous moment the author is alluding is about God and Virgin Mary.
7. The other famous moment author is alluding is about Adam and Eve.
8. The call to action the author is putting forth for all women to embrace if the world is to be turned "right side up again" is saying women working together.
9. My impression in this poem is tha women should have equal rights.
