When I think of why a woman’s voice matters, I think of the women in my life whose voices did not. And I have been influenced by all of them.
The single most profound relationship I have held with a woman was with my mother. She was a beautiful, graceful, strong, mixed up mess of confusion. Continue reading “Why a Woman’s Voice Matters” »
