Wangari Maathai in the news
BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Africa 'makes excuses on climate'
James brought up good point of how Maathai claimed the position she is in today. It would be an interesting comparison to make to how other female leaders got to power: i.e. Margaret Spellings.

Does it have to end?
I am feeling sad about the end of my Women in Education class.
One. the general class environment and Rebecca pushed me harder than I have ever gone in a class setting.
Two. I don't want to stop reading about changing pedagogical practices and
Three. I gennerally had fun every Tuesday nights!
I am happy that I get to read Elaine Pagel's Adam, Eve, and the Serpent! ASAP
I started this blog because I wanted to begin reflecting more on my experiences and thoughts as I went through the class. I really hope that I can continue to use this tool as a way to outline some of my thoughts and resources that I have used.

Conquering fear
"Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." - Marie Curie
I think this quote sums up how I feel about conquering life. I would like to have a better understanding of processes and patterns that shape our world like feminism or politics, rather than succumb to the fear that people relate with knowing to much. What is the phrase..."Ignorance is bliss." This is a terrible thing to say, but I bet a woman came up with that phrase to excuse the fact that she hasn't truly claimed her knowledge and experience in the world.
