I am a 70 yr old woman who fought for women’s rights and has applauded each step towards independence that has been accomplished over the years and happy that my children and grandchildren have been able to benefit but I have always been aware that there is a thin veneer between what society allows and what they really believe and the fear of being shamed has held things in check. Respect, compassion and free will have lost their meaning. I shudder to think what lies ahead but we must continue to fight and to speak up for our beliefs. So glad you had the courage to write this piece. Blessings and a complete healing for you.
