Editor:

Loved this writing. Amazingly all inclusive, excepting no one, stigmatizing no one. Yes. As women we are amazing, astounding, phenomenal. The important thing to know and remember for me? Educate and inform ourselves — constantly.

During my research I found that Rosa Parks is the only female whose body was allowed to lie in state in the rotunda. Do you know why? Love this writing. Positive. Affirmative. Don't see a lot of that in Santa Monica, especially from women.
