Penélope nunca encaixou nos moldes padrão e estava saturada do estigma de não ser "normal" por isso rumou para África, para ensinar numa escola para raparigas que também não encaixam nos moldes padrão e lutam pelo seu direito à educação e a um futuro diferente do das suas mães (as verdadeiras mentoras deste movimento de rebelião pacífica, assumindo as tarefas das filhas e as suas, para que elas possam frequentar as aulas). cansadas de todas as responsabilidades e ainda ter de aturar o mau-humor dos maridos, reuniram-se com a anciã e decidiram que estava na hora de os despachar da aldeia. a anciã reuniu com o ancião e ele concordou. no dia seguinte todos os homens tiveram de começar uma vida nova. aprender a construir as casas, a cozinhar, a lavar, a cuidar dos filhos que eles tanto amam na sua maneira tosca de expressar emoções. não estavam nada a gostar da mudança e ao quinto dia decidiram tomar a aldeia das mulheres de volta. gritavam determinados mas, quando se aproximaram, esperava-os a anciã que disse: ninguém vos convidou. ergueu o bordão com ambas as mãos e bateu com ele no chão criando uma onda de energia que, em círculos, rodeou todos os lugares que elas cuidavam e os assustou. atrás dela estavam as caçadoras, mulheres jovens e guerreiras. e nem foi preciso reunir com o ancião, os homens calaram os gritos de guerra, viraram costas e voltaram para o seu novo lugar.

Penelope never fit the standard mold and was saturated with the stigma of not being "normal" so she headed to Africa to teach at a school for girls who also don't fit the standard molds and fight for their right to education and a future different from that of their mothers (the real mentors of this movement of peaceful rebellion, taking over their daughters' tasks and their own, so that the girls can attend classes). tired of all the responsibilities and still having to put up with the bad mood of their husbands, they met with the old woman and decided it was time to get them out of the village. the old woman met with the old man and he agreed. the next day all the men had to start a new life. learn to build houses, cook, wash, take care of the children they love so much in their crude way of expressing emotions. they didn't like the change at all and on the fifth day they decided to take the women's village back. they shouted determinedly, but when they approached, the old woman was waiting for them, she said: no one invited you. raised the staff with both hands and slammed it to the ground creating a wave of energy that, in circles, surrounded all the places women cared for and startled the men. behind her were the hunters, young women and warriors. and there was no need to meet with the old man, the men silenced the war cries, turned around and went back to their new place.
