It's unexpected for women's issues to be brought up in places other than women's centers on college campuses or crisis places.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women's issues have always been a part of my life.
I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I've observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation.
Women's particular experiences continue to shape not just their points of view but their actions, in the United States and around the world.
Violence may be a good focus to organize around, but we have to look at women's lives in our entirety.
Women have a better understanding of social issues, and better representation gives them an opportunity to address these issues.
It is only with the passage of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994 that we have been able to put a dent in violence against women, and women have had a place to go.
This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.
I think the Women's movement has had a major impact on everybody's lives in our nation and in the world as a whole.
Everything about women is in perpetual crisis.
All issues are women's issues - and there are several that are just women's business.
