A feminist blog to awaken sleeping or oppressed souls of women and encourage sharing of radical, or not so radical, thoughts.

The Start of 2007 - holidays
The woman who writes 'Women and Thought' is taking a break from thought and indulging in other pursuits. These pursuits may be hedonistic and/or relaxation focussed, however there are still 'thoughts' involved...
Virginia Woolf thought a woman needed a "room of her own" and income to express independence of mind and intellect.
This blog is a computer screen and the whole world!
I am a feminist. I work, read and study. I love my partner [male], my family and friends.
It sickens me and chills my soul to see women portrayed as objects and "fillers" on television, movies and advertising.
Women are still not earning equal pay, nor being promoted at the same rate as men. Yet, in a climate of rampant individualism, personal and political rarely meet as everyone is caught in the rip-tide called 'survival'.
