C'mon ladies. We've got a lot of brains, power, good looks, creativity and educational privilege amongst us.
Any thoughts?

Girl Effect
I've been reading Three Cups of Tea (a little late to the game--sorry), and also looking at the Girl Effect website, and reading about things that Bryn Mawr is doing to try to make the world better for all women and I just thought of something rather obvious: what are we here at the Lady Times doing about making the world better for women? I mean, every single one of us does stuff every day to that effect, each in our own small and large spheres, but it seems we could do something more, collectively.

A collective effort? I have to think more about this... But I like the idea and I'm defs on board with spending some time on a project. I've got some lady times news in the work department (that I'm sure everyone's already sick of hearing about) to share soon, so look forward with great anticipation to a post tomorrow after I turn in my (lady times) paper!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you Eva!!!! Sometimes it's all I can do, I think to myself, to just survive the day. But then again, I'm not enslaved. I'm not living in poverty. I have an education. What's my problem? On Monday I went to an elementary school to observe a poorly-performing speech language pathologist, and would up spending two hours in a classroom of very cognitively disabled Kinergarten through Second graders (the teaching assistant went home sick leaving the teacher on his own). Little Jethro was having a birthday, and he wore a crown, and one by one each student got to do a dance to a song played on a thumb piano by the teacher. Then we played outside, and then I read to them. It was pretty much my favorite thing. Not lady times, but perhaps a little bit of saving the world times? Anyhow, schools rock.
