I was googling for some images to put into the slideshow I just installed (see right), and ran into the website for the National Women's Hall of Fame.Currently the Hall has inducted 226 women into its prestigious ranks. These giants among herstory include such familiar names as first lady, Abigail Adams, and lesser knowns like industrial engineer, Lillian Gilbreth.According to the website:"The

Another book I'm adding to my reading list: Encyclopedia of Amazons: Women Warriors from Antiquity to the Modern Era. Over 1,000 entries about women who directly engaged in combat. Whether to reduce confusion or simply narrow her field of research, author Jessica Amanda Salmonson "excludes from the encyclopedia women who were spies, assassins, famous murderesses or criminals, orators, or hunters"

This song has been stuck in my head all day, so I'm sharing the good vibes. Enjoy! :-)Girl Put Your Records On by Corinne Bailey RaeBiographyNeo-soul songstress Corinne Bailey Rae was born in Leeds, England, in 1979 to a British mother and West Indian father.

Rediscovered the 'Great Films..." list on page 26 of Fight Like a Girl, and just had to post about it. Of course, I have to get up at 5am for work tomorrow, but hell, I'm already up this late - what's another hour or two (or three)? Reading down, I realized I've been intending to see about ten, hadn't heard of most and actually finished seven. Kind of embarassing considering how much of a movie

Tonight I'm just sharing a few titles from my personal Reading List. Honestly though, I don't think I'll ever get around to even starting any one of these books.

In keeping with last weekend's patriotic holiday, I'd like to share some anthems. But instead of singing about the Stars and Stripes, these motivating melodies are all about the Power of Women - Women's Anthems!What all these songs have in common is a sense of positivity and inner strength that I think we women sometimes struggle to attain.
