(Updated monthly)

For hundreds of years women have shaped our world, but for some reason I received little information about this fact from my schooling. Life taught me that “her story” is just as important as “his story.”  Knowing both can help build a stronger relationship between us all.

That is why I have spent my life diving into the lives of other women who, had I not sought out their information, I may never have known. Women of science, medicine, politics, religion, and war. Women of arts, culture, sports, business and our humanitarians.

Around the globe there are examples of these women; travel with me across time and the miles to know these WOMEN OF INFLUENCE.

THIS MONTHS FEATURED WOMAN: Vandana Shiva educator, physicist, bio-activist, eco-feminist, author, philospher; that is just some of the titles used to describe the work of this great woman. She was born in India, received her education in both India and Canada but has taken her life’s work and knowledge worldwide. Ms. Shiva has a green message backed by her studies and a fighting spirit as it relates to globalization and the corporate take over of agriculture. She also knows the role women can play in bettering the eco and agricultural systems currently in place.
