Implied metaphor.

"How they battered down

Doors

And ironed

Starched white

Shirts

How they led

Armies

Headragged generals

Across mined

Fields

Bo oby-trapped

Ditches"

Explanation:

Alice Walker's poem "Women" is a poem about women in general and how they fight for their children's right to education. The poem is written in short, at times, monosyllable lines, where the speaker talks of mothers and their hard work to get an education for their children.

Figurative languages are the elements of writing that writers employ in their writing to give more 'color' and 'body' to their work. And in this poem, Alice Walker uses an implied metaphor. This element can be seen in the lines

How they battered down

Doors

And ironed

Starched white

Shirts

How they led

Armies

Headragged generals

Across mined

Fields

Bo oby-trapped

Ditches

Here, the speaker makes a comparison between the women/ mothers and several personalities like army generals, or army commanders, and other daily workers. These efforts by the mothers are for their children to "discover books, desks, a place" to get an education which they themselves weren't able to access.

Thus, the figurative language used in this poem is an implied metaphor.

Answer from: Quest

answer: military leaders, supporters of the confederacy and supporters of the union.

explanation:

on november 19, 1863, the speech delivered by president abraham lincoln, known as 'gettysburg address', was intended for politicians, military officials, notable citizens as well as general public, and members of the press who had gathered for the ceremony held in gettysburg, pennsylvania. this ceremony was being celebrated since, in that same year, the battle of gettysburg took place in rural pennsylvania, leaving thousands of men, both union and confederate, killed. lincoln argued about equality within the nation, and the purpose of the war being a "new birth of freedom."on the other hand, there is no relation between lincoln's gettysburg address and his son.
