Elizabeth:

      un fortunately, woman have been "second class" citizens for so long.
there are so
many areas in which woman have not had voice that it is very hard to know
 where to start...different factions begin: vbac, "natural" birthing, madd,

      too many woman have no faith in themselves or thier bodies...

      i think that there is an umbrella issue of woman's empowerment....
