I think that we can't deny the public's want for balancing out the images that are out there depicting women. Not all of us are 17 and a size two.

Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.

While women across the globe have many differences - language, culture, environment - our similarities are undeniable, and the impact of abuse and oppression affects us all.

There is nothing more attractive that a woman who is sure of herself.

I believe that as women, we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.
