Emily Dickinson, Poet
Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.
Diane Ackerman, Poet
[quoted in Newsweek, September 22, 1986] I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Carrie Chapman Catt, Women's Rights Activist
[in a speech at the Senate] No written law has ever been more binding than unwritten custom supported by popular opinion.
Susan Faludi, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist, Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women
Feminism's agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to 'choose' between public justice and private happiness.

Hello, I would like to suggest a new inspirational woman to add to this blog. I work with a lady called Dee Caffari, she used to be a PE teacher and following the death of her father decided to change the direction of her life.
In 2006 she took on a world first - to become the only woman in history to sail solo non-stop around the world 'the wrong way' round. She completed this challenge and sailed into the record books. She is now pushing her boundaries further by attempting to become the first woman to sail both ways around the world solo and non-stop. She is setting sail in 2 half weeks time and would love some support. It's possible to send her messages that will be sent directly to her boat at www.avivaoceanracing.com
