A response from Autonomous Feminist Womyn’s Gathering

Yippee (well I am in my early 50’s)…………………………I have just heard from the organizers of Autonomous Feminist Womyn's Gathering in Vienna, and it is open to all womyn…………………………….so I will try to attend. It has been more than a decade since I have been to Austria, and I love the thought of meeting feminists with various perspectives.

By the way get in contact with the sisters in feminism if you have suggestions for a workshop.


In sisterhood always,

Debra

International Women’s Day is 08th March 2008, and there is no better place to celebrate it then London, England – the most global capital in the world. Read about planned events for this most electric day for women world-wide. And every now and again I will post human rights issues near and dear to my heart.
