How Childhood Follows Us

June 13, 2011 By Sylvia Lafair

We have all been children. Many of us have children. At some point we have been told to put away our childish ways and become all grown up. Not as easy as we would like.

Women in power in this century are, for the most part, dismissing the old notions of the vast dichotomy between their skills and those of their male counterparts.
