Thomsen was commissioned to write a piece by a midwest women's college about "a woman's place in the world."

I am a woman, and my place is in the home And my home is the whole wide world We are world shapers, we are change makers We are potters spinning clay, we are dreamers of a new day We are asking questions, we are opening up the door We are searching, finding answers, we are wisdom seeking more Rabbi, singer, teacher, professor, poet, preacher Driving buses, styling hair We are everywhere We are women We are sweeping the hearth We are dreaming in the dark We are weaving at the loom We are the rhythms of the moon We are world shapers, we are change makers We are tenders of the earth, we are women giving birth We are packing lunches, we are sewing the clothes you wear We are sleeping on park benches, we are kneeling down in prayer Doctor, dancer, scientist, carpenter and journalist Telling stories, rocking chairs We are everywhere We are women We are stirring the pot We are keeping the fire hot We are holding a child’s hand We are the rhythms of the land We are world shapers, we are change makers We are potters spinning clay, we are dreamers of a new day We are laughing, crying, we are taking the time to play We are singing, we are sighing, we are making our own way Politician, volunteer, refugee, and engineer In the streets and on the air We are everywhere We are world shapers, we are change makers We are potters spinning clay, we are dreamers of a new day We are rule breakers, we are home makers We are healers of the earth We are mid-wives at the birth We are women, and our place is in the home And our home is the whole wide world x
