Women's work
"Women's work" a poem by Julia Alvarez, is written from the point of view of a growing girl. In the beginning the author shows us a child stuck inside, helping her mother with chores while other children play. As the poem progresses, and the child matures, she finds she is just like her mother. You know this because at the end of the poem she states she became her mothers child.
