Girl power and all that!

Anyone who knows me know that I am all for girl power! Women have been suppressed for far to long and been expected to be men's slaves. Still men today think a women's place is in the home. You only have to look into the novels of Jane Austen to get an insight into the lives of the middle and upper classes in early 19th century women. Brit Movie Tours offers a great Jane Austen Tour which gives an insight into this great British woman.  Sadly Jane's days as a author didn't see her get the credit for her great work until after she died.  She is just one of the women from our history which have made it possible for me to do what I do.  Thanks to Frances Buss and her legacy I could go to university which before her time would have been impossible.   I am very grateful for all the women of the past and presant which have made it possible for me to be me.  I hope other religions and cultures evolve so that every women in the world is free to do as she wishes without any abuse from men.
