feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
The Strength Within
In a small village surrounded by green hills, lived a woman named Asha. She was known for her kindness, her bright smile, and the way she helped everyone. People came to her for advice, for help with cooking, for caring for babies, or even just a warm cup of tea.

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us.

This Woman's History Included...
I have been working for a paycheck since 1975. (Yes- I sold Avon while in high school to buy my yearbook, class ring, and St. Vincent DePaul blue jeans. [sub parenthetical statement: those jeans weren't designer. SVdP was what now would classify as 'thrift shopping'])

Throwing Stones. Top Story - March 2025.
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things.
