my opinion to this poem is it a poem based on something true that most
housewives have to do no matter what other circumstances are.no matter how
much you try to get away from the routines you end up having to do it
because its a pattern in your life.

This poem not only critisizes the situation of women, but rejoices in the
power of women to overcome the tasks they are often burdened with. The
speaker may not exactly be looking forward to completing her work, but she
certainly does not let herself become bogged down by her responsibilities.
THIS is the lesson Maya Angelou is sending. It is not feministic, but
universal. We all have our jobs to do, but it is in our ability to
recognize the LIGHT in them that we can truly shine.

Im studying this poem for my GCSEs and i know how women are treated. I
think that this poem shows that perfectly. It shows that she has a very
mundane and monotonous life, how like she is trapped in a vortex that will
never end. It goes around and around like a wheel. Women still need to do
work like her as well. It may not be such a huge issue now because women
can work and they couldnt back when the poem was set. Either way this is a
touching poem that hopfully inspires a lot of people. I particullaly like
the like stanza 2-5 where it shows that she is appealing to nature. I hope
this message helps you.

and the reason why I so love the work of Maya Angelou is the simplicity of
the prose and the quickness of the words. I love this poem...even as an
oldest child in my household, I have had to do many many things to run the
house as a child....I identify completely.

I BELIVE EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ THIS POEM.MAYA IS A VERY BRILLIANT WOMAN.I
READ THIS POEM, JUST LIKE I SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR.IT'S LIKE A WOMAN'S
JOB NEVER ENDS.WE ARE ALWAYS SO BUSY DOING SOMETHING EVERY SINGLE DAY. I
SEE MYSELF SAYING EVERY NIGTH "THANK GOD FOR CREATING NIGH TIME FOR RESTING
OR ELSE WE WOULD HAVE BROKEN DOWN."
