Some Women's Talk

A piece of needlework that is very fine, done by hand I imagine. something I would have no way to accomplish, so I am in awe of the skill demonstrated by the woman (don't you figure?) or girl who made this.

Midwife checking position of baby, Colima Mexico, 1st century BCE. This shows that women cared for women in childbirth in all societies, throughout the ages.

Everyone talks about peace but no one educates for peace. In this world, they educate for competition, and competition is the beginning of any war. When educating to cooperate and owe each other solidarity, that day we will be educating for peace.

~Maria Montessori

The Montessori Method:

Of course men and children felt the major shift of the 70s...but women changed from stiff hairstyles to long loose hair, from shirtwaist dresses to bell bottoms or mini skirts, from being subservient to knowing their power!
