I was moved to tears by these women who had been so abused, treated like they were not worthy...taking back power for themselves as best they could.

My first thought was that there are way too many in this country who are taking us backward, not just in women's rights but in economic issues. There are so many things many of us thought of as part of our country, would always be there.....but now it's become a battle for many just to survive.
