It is all about the word MAKE and what female writers, poets and philosophers said about it.
MAKE consists of 2 different parts, each using 52 difference pentatonic scales.
One part consists of 5 voices layered on top of each other, all composed within the existing pentatonic scales.
The second part is an Epic Ballad, that sticks all the 52 quotes together and creates a long story with strong meaning behind it.

Examples:
- Maya Angelou: Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option
- Jane Austen: Perhaps it is our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another
- Emma Goldman: If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal
- Anais Nin: Life requires an effort I cannot make.
- Jeanette Winterson: I have a theory that every time you make an important choice, the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.
- Gertrude Stein: Putting down on the paper words which dance and weep and make love and fight and kiss and perform miracles.
- Edith Wharton: If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time.
- George Eliot: What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other.
- Jean Rhys: It's so easy to make a person who hasn't got anything seem wrong.
- Iris Murdoch: Education doesn’t make you happy.
- Sylvia Plath: Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.
- Pannonica de Koenigswarter: People who have more should give it away and make life better for those who don't.
