Mother and Daughter.
I joined Abctales in 2010 and my daughter Julia a year later (2011). Unfortunately due to ill health, despite having been a prolific writer since childhood, she only managed to post a small number of pieces whilst active on the site. Following her unexpected and preventable death in 2016, I posted more of her poems on my own account under her username, which seemed a logical step at the time.
In 2019 her entire body of work was published by Cerasuspoetry.com in a book entitled WAITING FOR ANOTHER VELVET MORNING, which is still available on Amazon (proceeds to charity}. Her original work still remains on her account Overthetop.
I don't write as much now, though the occasional piece pops up once in a while.

I think I'm of the same generation, as all these names were familiar to me. I much enjoyed your potted history of women and their - I mean our - role in history.

I've read this one several times, and decided I really like how surreal it is...working class pigeons and blue buses...why not?

Good beginning, if a little long, but the mini-cliffhanger ending leaves the reader curious to know what comes next. Quite a few typos though, so maybe a bit more editing next time...

Close to home for me, hence delay in commenting, but I really liked the way it was written, so much I read it twice.

I'm not sure whether you meant "liqueur" or "liquor" and apostrophe missing from "don't"...but really I'm nit-picking as I liked this a lot.
