The Sorbate: Significant Events In Women's History
Brassiere: The Ultimate Equalizer
Submitted by Renee on Tue, 03/02/2010 - 12:30
Sometimes it soothes the mind to take a couple minutes and reflect on what is truly important. Boobies. Or, more importantly bras. Ah, yes, the brassiere, getting women through each taxing day with a little less wiggle and a bit more spring away from our chest and into our step. Although sometimes mistaken for a torture device, or worn as a hat by children, we rely on the bra more than we think.
Tampon is French for 'plug'

When first trying to decide on a single event in the history of Women, I started thinking of all the things that, as a woman, I could not live without: voting, chocolate, the Pill, Lady Gaga. Then I realized that the only absolute need that I possessed simply because I am a woman is the tampon.
Stunt Women, past and present

For the past week, I have sifted through writings on historical events and long-since passed women of significance, battling over which event may represent women’s history at its most interesting point. And my search has proved difficult. Which got me thinking—what defines an important moment in women’s history? Is it the immediacy of the event’s effect? The number of women affected? Is it the passage of a law? The first time a woman participates in an otherwise male-dominated activity? To all of these, the answer is yes.
That Small Pink Pill

Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m one of those girls who wants it all – career, husband, and kids. Regardless of any of my other accomplishments in my life, the one that I will look back on as the most challenging, rewarding, and greatest of them all will be being a mother. Call me a traditionalist. Something that may seem untraditional, though, is that while I’ve been married for over four years, I’m focusing on my career and pushing off that greatest experience to my 30s. I’m an advocate of family planning because, as a female who wants to have the time to focus and build a successful career without the responsibility of children, the development of the birth control pill gives me back some control when it comes to mother nature.
