Kill Us for Our                Beliefs Janet Kuypers 7/7/19, the date in 1456 where a retrial verdict acquits Joan of Arc of heresy 25 years after her death This is the cycle we live in now. If we women are strong, if we fight for what’s right, with our life, we can lead armies, we’ll do everything in our power, & we can do the right thing, and stand on the moral ground, & it may still seem to no avail, for they will kill us for our beliefs. It won’t matter in the here & now what happens to us, even if the ones who killed us later acquit us of any wrongdoing. Women face uphill battles every day, but struggles do lead to change, even if only after a lifetime of fighting.
