The scales have fallen from my eyes....... Tuesday 16th Sept 2014`

What a difference reading an article and viewing a video can make to ones perspective. For todays lecture I had to read a piece by Marilyn Waring an eco-feminist from New Zealand and her view on how much women are worth, or in fact how LITTLE women are worth in the worldwide global world of economics.  It seems that all the work we put in at home bearing children, feeding them, caring for them, keeping the home fires burning etc. etc. count for nothing.  Women it seems dont count in the grand financial plan and it is wars and disasters and other such events that are important for GDP.

Feel really fed up this evening to be honest, and I hope this feeling passes soon.

Perhaps a long walk by the sea would help, i'll give that a go.


Namaste
Marie.
