A woman is a half-formed thing.
She is moulded, contorted and shaped.

On the first May (Labour Day), a crowd had gathered around a stage on Plein 1944, sun beating hard and loud voices raised in unison, united against capitalism and for class liberation. Protesters sandwiched in between a Primark and a KFC, stark examples of worker exploitation at its best.
