    'Sadie and Maud' by Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the poems that I think women all around the world should have the pleasure of reading. It signifies the independent lives that women have and the joy that life might bring.

Sadie and Maud

Her comb found every strand.
Sadie was one of the livingest chicks
In all the land.
