A Nod to All the Women Everywhere… and the upcoming women’s march this Saturday, the 19th of January, 2018.
Jan 17, 2019

I’m so very proud to be a woman and especially proud to call myself a friend of so many dynamic women in the world. It literally gives me goose bumps when I look around and see where women are today. Intelligent, compassionate, driven, talented, and all joining together in collaboration to use their voices for a better world.

I found this amazing summary and think it’s the perfect time to share it with all of you!

WHERE WOMEN WERE BEFORE THE EARLY 1970S IN THE U.S.

Women couldn’t get birth control if they were unmarried until 1973.

Women couldn’t serve on a jury until 1973.

Women couldn’t get an abortion until 1973.

Women couldn’t sue for sexual harassment until 1977.

Linda Rendleman - Helping Women Become More Powerful {Audio Included}
Jan 4, 2019

Linda stressed how excited she is about the ideas she read in Dr. Nancy’s new book In This Together. She and Dr. Nancy have walked similar paths in their advocacy for women (since the days when women couldn’t get credit cards in their own name or birth control if they weren’t married) and she feels a tremendous reward at the momentum that is building for women.

Women Like Us 2018! What we've done and where we're headed!
Dec 17, 2018

We have co-produced two fabulous educational workshops attended by over 400 children. In the Maasi Mara 98% of the little girls are brutally mutilated (FGM) and then sold into a life of slavery. Our 3-day workshops teach the boys and girls in all areas of HIV, FGM, hygiene, self-esteem, early childhood pregnancy, education and much more. Simultaneously, we hold a one-day workshop for the Maasai tribesmen and adult women. These workshops have a proven track record in a neighboring tribe. In just 5 years we have reduced the number of victims from 98% to 80%. We are saving lives and are committed with your help to continue this impactful work.

This from Women's E News...Women's Movement Books
Oct 15, 2018

(WOMENSENEWS)— A lightbulb, maybe even an alarm bell, went off when I was showing the high school interns the office. We stopped in front of the framed photo of the moment on Oct. 1, 1991—a mere 24 years ago—when Barbara Boxer, then a member of the House, led five other female lawmakers up the steps of the Senate, demanding that it hold a hearing on Anita Hill’s sex-harassment allegations against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. What happened after that had much of the country transfixed for a kind of reality TV episode that we had never lived through before.
