Happy International Women’s Day! Keep Moving Forward!

My mother told me that she was glad that I was not born in an earlier century, for I would have been publicly whipped for asking so many questions on gender equality. I wanted to know why the women cooked, but they were the last to eat. I questioned why I had to fix my... Continue Reading →

Is Travel Safe for Older Women Alone: A Prompt-less Post
