Don’t get me started!

Having lived in Africa, I now see American views on women as quite progressive, but in Europe I would imagine that they’re even more so. Can’t wait for the next post. xxx

I am so interested in perceptions of women and experiences therein. My grandmother went to university in 1930s as she had a scholarship because she was so bright and I wish I had spoken to her more about it to learn from. She championed women and their rights and even chaired a society that helped women who worked on the streets or were forced vis human trafficking into her mid-80s and her perceptions on drinking etc was striking. She would have loved the idea of this post! Sorry if I have waffled on a bit …

Sad to see that this kind of thinking is still prevalent in colleges today.

I used to joke that the only drunk Italians I knew are the ones that had american friends.
