In the last elections to the parliament, women received only 35 seats, i.e. account for 6% of all deputies. And the French decided to put an end to this. France on the same level with Greece and Turkey, Francoise Giro, a writer and former member of the government, is outraged.

The next international female conference, which will be held under the auspices of the UN in Beijing in 1995, will contribute to the work of female groups at the local level in many respects.

He gets up, extends his back, looks out the window on the pigeons below on the roof, recalls that the son needs to buy this and that. Puts on a scarf, coat. Checks what a wallet is more than a wallet, if there is a key in his pocket. Locks the apartment. Four short spans, a glass door that has not acquired the appearance of the front door. Air. Street. Transition.

In June 1993, after an eight -year break, I returned to Russia again - to a country that has long conquered my heart. In 1985, I spent four months in Leningrad, participating in the educational program that opened my Russian culture, Russian and gave the meaning of my life. After this trip, I mainly worked with women and children in the USA, recently in Los Angeles in a shelter for women who are beaten by husbands and their children.

(Conversation of Katrina Vanden Huvel with four women-activists representing three regions of Russia. Published with reductions) Yavlinsky? Comected more reasonable than from the female party? N.S. Yes. The women of Russia are the women's councils and the Committee of Soviet Women, and the new structures are naive and funny. In our militarized, zoned society, there can not be yet a female party. The success of women in Russia is really success.

A serious researcher and brilliant storyteller Dr. Clarissa Estes decided to say in her book what we have long suspected at heart, namely, in every woman, no matter how torture, humiliated and devastated, she smolders a desire to lead such a life, which, being with the mind, would revive it, by the definition of the Clarisa, “Female wild nature”.

I was 30 years old, I washed the laundry and suddenly realized that I would never become Miss America. It upset me. Not because I ever wanted to become her. I do not differ in particular beauty, and I never had a ready, elegant plan for the salvation of the nation.
