Feminism (noun) - the belief that all people are entitled to the same civil rights and liberties and can be intellectual equals regardless of gender.
Some women who should be celebrated and better known than they are ...
Roslyn Sussman Yalow won the Nobel Prize for her development of RIA (radioimmunoassay)
a technique that is used to measure small quantities of liquid in human blood.
Barbara McClintock, the first woman to win an 'unshared' Nobel Prize in Physiology,
for her theory in transposition - the idea that certain genes turn on or off
physical characteristics.
About International Women's Day
My day of empowerment included riding to the Seat of Knowledge, buying coffee, visiting a friend for morning tea, watching a movie, watching the football, cooking dinner and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it!
Now, I'm off to bed for another good night's sleep.
Nite all.
