Sadly, this … Continue reading Global E-Links: November 2025

Dear friend of Global Women's Project, With my strong dislike for humidity, I am always relieved when the summer draws to a close and the fall weather starts. However, I would be much less excited for late fall and winter if I thought that I might not have warm, stable housing in which to spend … Continue reading Global E-Links: September 2025

Dear GWP Community, Spring is almost here, and if you are based in the northern hemisphere you may already be enjoying the effects of warmer weather and longer daylight hours. At our monthly meeting, we enjoyed this poem, by US Poet Laureate of 2022 Ada Limon. If you are looking for ways to re-engage with … Continue reading Global E-Links: March 2025

GWP friends: If you're like me right now, you dread a lot of the news each day. As much as I believe the wisdom that no voice for justice is ever lost, the threats abound. A teacher friend tells me that children of immigrant families in the school my kids went to are terrified. Critical services … Continue reading Global E-Links: February 2025
