Happy International Women's Day, 2013

 

"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights." --Gloria Steinem

Quote of the day

"Every woman should be able to decide when and whether to have children.

This is true whether she is HIV positive or not...There should be no controversy about this, none at all." --Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, spoken this past Monday in New York at the International AIDS Conference

Ironically but poignantly closing out Black History Month

Alfre Woodard, reciting Sojouner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman." How ironic, to hear this, here, now, from anyone, as the Republicans and Right Wing want the control of women's contraceptive and reproductive rights. Some things never change. But things must. (With thanks and a hat tip to MoveOn.org for this reminder).

Quote for the day--note to Kansas City

“But we're all in the same boat now, and we've got to learn to work together.”

--Dorothy Height
