A Thousand Voices...


A thousand hearts. A thousand souls. A thousand stories. A thousand impressions. A thousand hopes. A thousand dreams. A thousand wishes for peace from women around the world.
Write your story. Write about someone. Write for someone. Add it to this blog. Inspired by Los Angeles' Skirball Center's Women Hold Up Half the Sky exhibit and dedicated to empowering women to be bold and seek opportunity in their world.

Three Women Win Nobel Peace Prize

We can't begin to imagine just how hard three women have had to work in their respective African/Middle Eastern countries to achieve such an honor as the Nobel Peace Prize 2011. I personally have chills about what this could mean in the evolution of women's rights globally. It is especially timely with October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/08/world/nobel-peace-prize-johnson-sirleaf-gbowee-karman.html?_r=1&hp
