WOMAN 101

Dear Woman,

These are the times that try woman's souls.  We are under attack by our politicians, at our workplaces, by religious and cultural organizations, and by the large "g" Government itself. It's 2016 and we are still objectified? Our bodily functions--the fodder of fools?

We, as a society, do not know women's history.  That history has been omitted from our text books. What were women "capable" of doing in the past? What are we "capable" of now? What will we be "capable" of in the future? A lot. We always have been and we always will be.

We are going to correct history ("beingwoman") and share the accomplishments of young women ("Women with Wings"). Our website, womensmercury.com will be the place, but look for tweets as we "reboot" our twitter page in March. We will share women's stories through the arts and literature. 

Don't worry, we won't lose our sense of humor. It's gotten us this far.  

To the future!
