" A WOMAN'S WORLD "
Or Is It ?
"O little did my mother ken,
The day she cradled me.
The lands I was to travel in,
Or the life I was to see."
Dedicated to WOMEN of the world.
We have attempted to garner a number of links on womens' issues from around the world. The comprehensive list includes items on health care, adoption, infertility and surrogate mothers. A number of links that deal with the problems that single mothers are faced with and groups that assist single mothers. Other links deal with working mothers and childcare. We have also collected a list of advocacy groups from MADD (Mothers Against Drug Driving) to Mothers Against Gangs. Lastly we have a miscellaneous listing of links debunking myths about motherhood.
