Breathe
by Sarah Crossan
~Maude Blue~
“Free? Ha!” Maude shouts. “What’s free? Oh, we could breathe all right, yes but there weren’t never a time when we was free. Free don’t mean nothing. Look back in history and all you’ll see will be Elysian Fields. It weren’t that way. It ain’t never that way. People is people and greed is greed. There weren’t never a time of true equality. Women didn’t play in that stadium and get the same crowds as the men: no one care how many goals a woman scored. Freedom and equality is myth, girls. You should learn that now. Freedom? Hah!”
