The Sad Women

“I can promise you that women working together – linked, informed and educated – can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.” – Isabel Allende

When I think about the Middle East recently I keep thinking about how powerless so many women must feel as they watch their world being destroyed. They have their differing opinions and beliefs but I believe their pain makes them much more alike than their religion and background make them different. Because of that I am confident of the same thing Allende is. I don’t know the solution to all these issues. But I believe the women of the region are more likely to find the answers than the men are. I can think of no better place and time than here and now to have women in charge instead of men.

a drawing of 2 women side by side. The left side women is dressed in a blue short sleeve shirt and light blue jeans. Her midriff is showing. She has on a star of David necklace. She has long brown hair. and a very sad expression on her face. The right side woman has a hijab head and full length abaya. She is also in dark and light blue. Her expression is also very sad. Behind both of them is fire, rubble and a river of blood below their feet.
