Sense Sonnet - Acher

 First Iron Girl


In China in post World War II

You led the Iron Girls in the aim

Of giving women their shared due

In "as good as any man" claim.

Friend of the Chairman you did be.

Rose quickly up the power rank,

A national celebrity,

Women more equal, you to thank.

The '80's, bad news did portend.

The Cultural Revolution

Had pretty much come to an end,

And you and the Iron Girls were done.


Masculine acting women were

No longer China cheered for sure.
