Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. I am a student, mother and feminist. In no particular order. I am passionate about all three. This space will be an ongoing journey as I explore women’s issues and the path for equality for women. Will the ERA be ratified this year? Will “Stupak on Steroids” get passed? Will the glass ceiling disappear for women in the workforce? Will the number of women who are in charge in Hollywood increase this year? What about exploitation of women? I am passionate about this – how exploitation of girls via sex trafficking affects our culture, but also how do networks like MTV and their “programming” affect millions of tweens and teens that watch the shows and are inspired by them. How do advertisers affect our young girls? Why do women suffer from so many eating disorders? I could go on and on…and I intend to in this blog. These are just a few of the areas that I am interested in discussing. I hope you will grab a cup of coffee, sit down and enjoy my posts. Please comment, I would love to hear your thoughts, and would love to debate with you on these issues.

As much as possible, I also intend to include information on where you can find out more, and what you can do to change these inequalities towards women. As women who are seeking change, we need to strategize our future…without a vision and a strategy, we will get nowhere.

Peace,
Denise
