March 5, 2023 Annmarie Dinan Hansen - Words for Women: Spinster, Mistress, Mother, Queen

UU Community Church of Washington County

March 8 is International Women's Day.  It's a good time to honor the lives and accomplishments of women - and to examine what being a "woman" means.  The words used by different cultures to describe women tell us a lot about how female identity is valued (or not).  These words also tell us how specific duties and responsibilities are linked to gender - but they don't have to be! Come hear how we can use words to lift up women everywhere.
