What thing of beauty have you seen through a hidden window?
Today we “spring forward,” losing a precious hour. Of course, that hour was never ours to begin with—we borrowed it back in the fall, and are simply returning it.

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
What is the best mistake you’ve made recently?
Across the centuries the struggle for women’s rights has included fighting for women’s right to property, to education, to control of their bodies and reproduction, to inclusion in the political process, to the understanding that women’s insights and relationships are as valid and important as those of men.
What work do you see that remains to be done to achieve equality for women?
