Education has become a prisoner of contemporaneity.

Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.

The last western society to worship female powers was Minoan Crete. And significantly, that fell and did not rise again.

If feminism has receded in visibility and prestige, it is precisely because its vision of life's goals and rewards has become too narrow and elitist.

A woman simply is, but a man must become.

A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! Like orange tanning spray, this is a fashion fad that should be put out of its misery.

Minerva save us from the cloying syrup of coercive compassion!
