This is the title of a must-read book by Rosalind Miles. She asked the important question, where are all the women in our history? If any of us stop to think about it, it's a really good question!
Filled with humor, good stories and interesting facts that open our perspective, I recommend all women should read this book. While the past is gone, it does give us some idea of how we got here why things are the way they are.
Where I'll add my perspective that's a little different than hers is that as we examine what happened before, let's choose to own it so we can insure it won't happen again!
As you've heard me say before, you can't move forward until you own where you are now. And for women in this world what we all need to own is that we've not taken responsibility for the mess we've created.
There is great power in owning the idea once and for all "I am not a victim." When you own that single idea you've taken ALL your power back.
That's not to say everything in our lives and our world gets cleaned up instantly, but it's the first big drop in the bucket of a world filled with clean and pure Truth.
There have been so many women who have walked before us with courage, grace and integrity - claiming their truth so we could live ours. Let's honor them by doing the same, one small step at at time.
