I'm appalled the word feminism has been denigrated to a place of almost ridicule and I very passionately believe the word needs to be revalued and reintroduced with power and understanding that this is a global picture.

There is a fascination here that holds rich and poor, strong and weak captive,not with chains and fetters but by an almost touchable solace...
I'd like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.
