What are the poetic devices in the poem women by alice walker

"Women" by Alice Walker is a poem about strong women. Walker says that this poem was written for her mother, who is an important woman in her life. Walkers mother was an African American slave, so it was extremely important for her to stay strong for her children and for her family. I think that this poem is trying to convey that women of her mothers generation had to be tough, but were also loving and caring at the same time.
