Yes, adorable can be good. The story behind this picture is about a random/fortuitous event. My sister Ale and I were at Lincoln center this July, around the fountain of the Metropolitan opera with my granddaughter Victoria. Three girls, probably 13-14 year olds who perhaps studied ballet somewhere nearby, came to the Met to take pictures of themselves within the side columns of the building (I guess dreaming of one day dancing in this building).
Victoria was running around the plaza like any toddler (and me chasing after her), and …

Is the US press deaf to women’s voices? You betcha! Six female Nobel Prize winners from all over the world join the voices of thousands and millions of women in the state of Chihuahua for the murder of a mother who demanded justice for the murder of her own daughter. And I can’t find this in the US press.
Why hasn’t the US press covered the voices of 6 female Nobel prize winners… on a matter that affects women in a particular place, but that to a greater or lesser degree …

I …

Three Generations of Feminists meet with Amy Siskind in NYC, to initiate a symbolic intergenerational dialog.
I had to travel to NYC in March, and I had the illusion of having my daughter, who works in Wall Street, and her new born daughter (my first grand daughter!) meet Amy, president of The New Agenda. I wanted to introduce them to a new face of feminism that could become an attractive road in which they could …
