About women's versatility
Naive, but gives the best advice. Weak, but takes on anything. A screw loose and tough as nails. Curls up with Jasper or Ladies'Home Journal. Can't figure out this bolt and builds a bridge.
This is a fragment of a poem by the Polish Nobel Prize winner Wisława Szyborska, called Portrait of a Woman, and I think it is good to recall it on the occasion of International Women's Day.
When examining images of women, I deeply believe that it is impossible to talk about one coherent image or archetype. There are as many of them as there are representatives of the female gender. One woman can have many faces. Depending on the situation or person, she can be a femme fatale, sexy kitten, it girl, tradwife, good mother, naive bird, serious expert, little girl or a businesswoman. Sometimes everything at once and that's beautiful!
