Quote of the week
‘We have no friend 
But resolution 
And the briefest end’
– Cleopatra (Anthony and Cleopatra, 1607)
It’s  International Women’s day! Bravo to all women from around the world. 
NY Times has a list of remarkable women, often overlooked. Often ignored. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/obituaries/overlooked.html
Not to mention warriors like Nyabingi, Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai, political activists like Winnie Mandela, writers like Ama Ata Adoi, and many more from the African continent.

This women’s day, dear reader,  in addition to all the trail blazing women in different fields,  celebrate women in the Arts.  Playwrights, directors, choreographers, Theatre Directors,  actors, curators, designers, Academics, et cetera from around the Globe!
For this International Women’s day Words without Borders  highlights women writers, motivating others and inciting change!
