"Wow, Meg, that's incredible, congrats!! (But, I'm not surprised - it's a great book!)"
ONE BILLION RISING
ONE IN THREE WOMEN ON THE PLANET WILL BE RAPED OR BEATEN IN HER LIFETIME
ONE BILLION WOMEN VIOLATED IS AN ATROCITY
ONE BILLION WOMEN DANCING IS A REVOLUTION
This week, join V-Day in demanding an end to violence against women everywhere. Write a blog post or poem, take a photo, or make a video--anything that you feel represents your voice--post it on She Writes, and then share a link to it here in the comments section by 9am PST/12pm EST this Thurs 2/14. We'll select three of our favorite contributions to feature in this Thursday's newsletter...and you'll be joining a revolution. We look forward to hearing (and seeing) what you have to say!

This is a wonderful idea. Thanks so much for doing it! I'm enjoying reading the posts and seeing the content people are producing and my own contribution was cathartic (but hard - whew!) http://citymusecountrymuse2012.blogspot.com/

Thank you for reading it, Krista. This is such an important issue! I am actually an advisor to our feminist group at Columbia College in Chicago, Il. They are a fantastic group of young women and men who are in their fourth year of campus consciousness raising around these issues.
