From one Southern Feminist to another

My wonderful friend Opal has started writing a column about women in Birmingham, Alabama.

Women in the Magic City, Volume 1 | pavomag.com

One of my favorite lines:  “And I can say now, after spending time transcribing the interviews and doing my own soul searching, that I learned a lesson much more beneficial than some hot-air intellectual stroking of feminist egos. What I learned was this: calling yourself a feminist means nothing to the world, and even less to Birmingham. Acting like a feminist – responding to a call for change by BEING the change – is the only measurable standard that matters.”
