    About this ebook

    "Songs of Womanhood" by Laurence Alma-Tadema is a collection of poems by Alma-Tadema's daughter and compiled later by the credited author. Each poem focuses on the central theme of womanhood. Being a woman is full of hardships and navigating the world can be a daunting task. Any woman would feel like they're looking at a mirror as they read these words which reflect their struggles, hopes, and dreams back to them.
