The Face

    <p>The role of women in modern American life is easy enough to dismiss as essentially one of equity.  We see prominent women on TV for example.  Women commentators are featured in news show round table discussions.  Nationally and at the local level 57% of news anchors are women.  Corporate America is full of female employees and the numbers are increasing all the time.  So there may be a sense of equality for women, but that is a false sense.</p>

Why Not?

<p>Like greyhounds being led around a track, far too long American voters have gone through the paces believing the way we have always done things is the way we always should.

Minneapolis Feminists Speak Out at National Young Women's Leadership Conference

Capitol Hill picture

At the University of the District of Columbia on March 21 & 22, about 500 college-age feminists from around the country clapped and cheered through lecture after lecture-- until Sunday afternoon. Then, when comments and questions were finally taken by the young women who organized the conference within the Feminist Majority Foundation, delegates voiced their concerns at a mic. in the dim auditorium.

Four students from Augsburg College, in the only delegation from Minnesota, commented that the conference's political focus was unbalanced. (I was the fifth person in the delegation.)

WOMEN VETS WRITE FOR EACH OTHER: VetSpeak.org Writing Workshop for Women Veterans

01/26/2009 10:51

Please forward to women veterans you know who may be interested in attending this free writing group.

This idea is based on the work done by veterans with Maxine Hong Kingston and Thich Nhat Hanh and the book that followed: "Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace". It is my firm belief that telling our stories is one of the most important components of our healing journey.

This is a safe place for women who served in the military to come and share their stories through writing.
