By denouncing the Women's Jihad, Samara had given it life. She'd painted the shadow, and the object was presumed. If a man saw the shadow of a lion on his path, he would run for his life. He wouldn't stop to check if the shadow was painted on the ground. Who could tell if the accidental death of an evil man was fate or retribution? No one.

Samara launched the Women's Jihad with the most powerful words she knew—not shouted words, not written words, but whispered words. If she shouted from the rooftop, “Mary might have a baby,” few would care. If she posted a sign at the crossroad, “Mary might have a baby,” few would care. But if she left a narrow chink in a wall, and whispered, “Mary might have a baby,” many would peek through the hole or put their ear up to it, to know the secret.

Whispered words: the words of confidences, rumors, and gossip—those were the most powerful words in the world. The Women's Jihad would be carried on words that burrowed themselves into the fabric of the soul never to be forgotten. She gave her baby jihad a scepter—a burning twig of rumor. She hoped wagging tongues would fan it. An imaginary Women's Jihad might frighten men today as an imaginary witch had frightened them as boys yesterday.
