I too am new to the feminist ideal. In my late age I am starting to become more aware of the plight of Women worldwide. I wish that I had a better clue growing up, although my Mom was a bra burning hippie that I thought was crazy! LOL! She was a good role model but I was too dumb to "get it". I feel I have wasted so much time!

I am not 100% up to par with some of the issues, but I am evolving and learning everyday. I am greatful to the Women of DU and the Women who fight everyday for Womens rights, health and well being.

I really appreciate this nice post! Thank you for sharing!
