Anyone can follow this easy peasy recipe for creating a small or big SHEvolution:

1) Get up
2) Take a step
3) Take another step
4) Take many more steps

Note: works on yourself as well as the world.

Inspired by author Amy Ferris.

We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between:

A man that flatters her, and a man who complements her;

A man who spends money on her, and a man who invests in her;

A man who views her as property, and a man who views her properly;

Rosa Chacel (b. June 3, 1898 in Valladolid; d. August 7, 1994, Madrid) was a famous and sometimes controversial writer from Spain. She was a native of Valladolid.

Chacel was the daughter of a teacher who sent her to live with her grandmother in Madrid.
