And the idea that women, too, have the right to control their own bodies and destinies, and to work, and be paid, as equals to men! <br /><br />We'll all keep working.

I'm feeling especially grateful for our community in here right now. And writing-wise, I do have to just say that I love the hot dog thread through the poem. It works perfectly, perfectly sadly. I wish you a Happy PF!Amy LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625469276544426664noreply@blogger.com
