Frankly, lots of what appears on my computer screen is as much a surprise to me as it is to you. I certainly never expected over my oatmeal and English muffin this morning to be writing about Bernoulli's principle today. For that matter, I have no idea why I like English muffins. But I do.”

“If a woman is interested in her own struggle into identity and power, then she will be interested in other women.

They are inspirational examples of the strength of the female spirit.”
