The War on Women at Work

Last updated on: July 20, 2012 at 8:38 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Paul is a civil servant, a Blues DJ for Mod Radio and an aspiring author. If you had asked me a few years ago about the ‘war on women’ I would most probably have answered, “What?” and asked you to stop blocking the TV. As a chap who since age 16 has worked predominantly with female bosses and studied predominantly under female teachers, it genuinely never occurred to me that women still suffered workplace inequalities or were discriminated against in other ways. The... Read more

The War on Women and the Resurgence of the Divine Feminine

Last updated on: June 29, 2012 at 4:20 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Lana Dalberg is a mother, author, and member of “herchurch” (Ebenezer Lutheran) in San Francisco, CA where she has led many writing and spirituality workshops. The debate over the power of government to regulate and control women’s reproductive abilities —just one aspect of the war on women — builds on a long history of women’s subjugation. Women’s ability to connect, conceive, and create life has always vexed those who aspire to dominate. Starting in the second millennium BC, women... Read more

Susan Naomi Bernstein (left) is a writer and educator living in Queens, NY. She also writes the blog Beyond the Basics (for Bedford Bits) We speak of the “war on women” in the United States as if inequality for women was a new and disconcerting phenomenon, peculiar to the 21st century and confined only to our current political context. Yet we ignore the last century of our gains and our losses in United States history at great peril. As we pay... Read more

How to Stop the War on Women

Last updated on: June 18, 2012 at 3:13 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Ann Smith is Co-Founder and Director of Circle Connections When I hear the phrase “war on women” I sadly shake my head at the folly of the human race for allowing this terrible tragedy to continue. So often we in the United States think that this war is not here, but it is covertly fought, especially against women of color. It is much more than serious than political rhetoric. Several years ago when I was part of an Episcopal women’s... Read more

One thing I know for sure after the WSF retreat is… …the magic of being together. There is simply nothing like it. We started as 30 women coming from all different places, geographically, spiritually, emotionally, economically, generationally etc. etc. and we left as sweet sisters, aunts and nieces!
