You are welcome. I did a thesis on women, and found a diversity among women as we try to define ourselves as women. If that makes sense. As women we are going forward at the same time looking back at history.
My daughter was amazed that I went to the thrift store and purchased ("a text book") on Women and the labor movement. Women and minorites are usually written out of history books or written such away that it is not complete.
I always keep that in mind when dealing with Queen Bee Mothers, that we are women first, mothers second. This helps me keep it in perspective, especially when working out. I workout for myself, first. Everything else just falls in line. In other words, I tell my children, either wash your own clothes or don't wait until you run out of clean underwear!
A great book that I would recommend is "The Mommy Wars." There are great women books that are reality based, not based on a romantic or victorian ideal of women.
