A tutte le donne

To all women

Fragile, opulenta donna, matrice del paradiso sei un granello di colpa anche agli occhi di Dio malgrado le tue sante guerre per l’emancipazione. Spaccarono la tua bellezza e rimane uno scheletro d’amore che però grida ancora vendetta e soltanto tu riesci ancora a piangere, poi ti volgi e vedi ancora i tuoi figli, poi ti volti e non sai ancora dire e taci meravigliata e allora diventi grande come la terra e innalzi il tuo canto d’amore.

Fragile, opulent woman, matrix of paradise you are a speck of guilt even in the eyes of God despite your holy wars for emancipation. They smashed your beauty and a skeleton of love remains that still cries out for vengeance and only you can still cry, then you turn around and still see your children, then you turn around and you still can't say and you keep silent in wonder and then you become as big as the earth and you raise your song of love

Alda Merini

In your opinion, is it difficult to women to hold successful positions due to stereotypes or cliches?

What would be a possible solution to the problem of the enormous gap between women and men in the working place?
