Rebecca Walker and the "feminism experiment"

Rebecca Walker is the daughter of Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple and strident feminist). Rebecca has written a very interesting piece about growing up with her mother, how her mother's ideologies affected her childhood and thought processes, and what she thinks about feminism now.

Read it here. Interesting stuff!

Di, that article was awesome on so many levels. Thanks for sharing it. I passed it along to some of my Regent Law colleagues. She articulated so well the absolutely horrible effects of abortion on women that those of us in crisis pregnancy ministry know well. How brave she is. How her mother treated her when she dared make her own "choices" is a microcosm of how the whole movement will react. "Big Sister" feminism will do everything they can to silence her!

Crazy for the Computer Chloe is currently building her own 'website' using Front Page. So far, everything she has built has been done on her own including design, building the tables and cells, personalizing their properties, inserting hyperlinks, etc. She builds her own graphics using Paint Shop Pro. Also, all content has been written by her with no editing or suggestions from Mom. Check it out here ! Highlights from Today's Nature Walk: 1. Chloe spotted what she thinks is a Dowitcher (bird with long beak) 2. Ben splatted in the river about six times, so returned home soaked but happy 3. Only other animals sighted: brown grasshopper, small water snail, water striders, crows 4. Noticed developing buds on tips of branches

We finally got our winter snow! We had perfect winter weather today. It was on the warm side for snow (somewhere between 34 & 36 degrees) and the beautiful flakes were numerous. By the way, Chloe knitted the scarf she is wearing. *The bald eagle returned today. This is quite a record considering we usually only see him about twice a month. He still seems to be scavenging on Matthew Island. We're considering canoeing out and putting fish (or something) on the bank everyday to ensure that we see him on the Backyard Bird Count (Feb 17-20) www.birdsource.com/
