another woman*

another woman*
 
at some point in her career,
every woman has shared challenges
with another woman
down the hall
up the street
in a corner office
three thousand miles away.
 
at some point in her career,
every woman has needed
to compete with another woman
to fight on behalf of another woman
to interview another woman.
 
at some point in her career,
every woman has needed another woman
to trust with her children
to remind her of who she used to be
to be a role model without every knowing it
to listen.
 
at some point in her career,
every woman should tell her story.
not for her,
but for another woman not so different from herself.
 
change begins with understanding.
understanding begins with conversation.
