Happy Women's Day
Happy Women's Day to all women all over the world!I almost forgot that today was Women's Day (at least in the States and the Northern Hemisphere, anyway, since it's already March 9th in the Philippines and other countries in the Southern Hemisphere). So thank you, Ate Ging, for the reminder.
Just wanted to share this really beautiful quote from Edwidge Danticat, one of my favorite writers. This passage appeared in her book, Breath, Eyes, Memory:
"I am a beautiful woman with a beautiful body.
Because of my distress I am able to understand
when others are in deep pain.
Since I have survived this, I can survive anything."
Happy Women's Day to all women! The time will come when we will have an equitable place in society, when we can live and enjoy life according to our capabilities, and when the lines of race, class, sexuality, nationality, ability, age, and religion will no longer divide women.
