About I Won't Come Down

For centuries the women were left at the foot of the trees. Women as roots destined to nourish the fruits of other existences: the fathers, the husbands, the children, the eternally free masculine who instead climbs every tree, and from above looks into the distance, grows and conquers the world.

It seemed like an eternal condemnation, the worst because blessed by all power. Instead some women rebelled and embraced the trunk as if it were the best part of themselves, they put their feet down and climbing from branch to branch they conquered another point of view, a wider horizon.
