I love this question. It relates to what I saw when someone asked me recently what I loved to read as a child. My arm-hair stands on end when I write about women succeeding against all odds. I first found that in Secret Garden and…

Laura L Mays Hoopes commented on the blog post 'I Guess Women Aren't That Good At Writing After All'

Enjoy writing and interacting with women and want to help raise consciousness, as we used to say.
