                                                Women of Africa,

                                                Women of the Revolution!

                                                You will rise up to apex

                                                You will journey endlessly

                                                At a walking pace of the social Revolution,

                                                To the rhythm of cultural progress,

                                                In the train of economic boom

                                                To the great and beautiful city

                                                Of the exacting ends

                                                And were in leading

                                                          Your brothers, your husbands and 

                                                           your children...

���     Women of Africa,

        Women of the Revolution!

        Equality is not offered,

        It must be conquered.

       To emancipate the women

       Is to rid the society

       Of its blemishes, its� deformities

       The conquest of science,

       The mastery of Techniques

       Will open to the Women the way

       That of intra-social combat

       Rendering her "subject and no longer object".

(Lines 27-37, 53-64)
